Order This Toy Car Now My Toy Car Collection As a toymaker, I take pride in crafting fun, entertaining, and unique toys. I made a wooden toy car inspired by a 1932 Ford Hot Rod Sedan. I used traditional woodworking tools and techniques to bring this toy car to life. I painted it by hand with turquoise, metallic emerald green, and black acrylic paint, and the wheels are finished with nonmarring amber shellac. One of the things that sets my toys apart from mass-produced toys is that they are all handmade using natural wood and wood products. This means that each piece is unique and will vary slightly in appearance from one item to the next. When you order this toy car, the item you receive will differ somewhat from the item pictured in the listing photos. It's important to note that the natural variations in wood grain, color, and knots make each piece one-of-a-kind and add to the item's character and charm. These variations should be expected and are not considered defects. Howe...
