Dad's Collection: Wacky Hallmark Cars

The quest to document Dad's large and diverse collection continues with these zany automobiles, or as the tires indicate "Road Rovers". Colorful, diecast toy cars produced by Hallmark of all companies.

The armored truck is pretty cool with the classic $ sign and a nice silver paint job.

 

The street sweep is definitely my favorite of the bunch, as it's basically a vacuum on wheels, making it the silliest of the Rovers. Actually, scratch that, my favorite would have to be the pool car. The pool car had a swimming pool on top with a rubber ducky floating in the water. It's not pictured here because my Dad doesn't know where it is, no one does. I like it best for the painfully obvious play on words. Hopefully it'll show up one day.

These things are almost older than me!

Have you ever come across this before? Did you even know such a thing existed? Now you know! You're welcome! If you ever come across the pool car let me know!

Update:

After further research I came across The Long Morrow, a cool little blog that has oodles of info on these funky roadsters! Check it out HERE!
