Tonka, one of the best things to ever come out of the great state of Minnesota.

That thing had a hard life! One day my mom was coming home from shopping in her '71 Ford Country Squire wagon. Going down Parade Hill Road, she got passed by my Tonka dump truck - loaded with my sister's Barbie dolls - on fire!The truck lived on quite a while after that. My butt assumed the same color as my Tonka fire engine later that evening
Tonka, one of the best things to ever come out of the great state of Minnesota.The name still exists, but Hasbro Toys bought the Tonka Toy Company out in 1991, closed the MN headquarters and moved manufacturing to Rhode Island. The toys are all plastic these days. Capitalism tends to punish companies that build consumer products that last for 3 generations or more.
mine from 60yrs ago.
Nice Shady , They are 59 Fords on the transport?The things in the window, is that different insulators from powerlines?
Yep, those are power line insulators. Got a collection of them myself. Kids today would probably think they're butt plugs.
