It's a Small World After All: Pyro Small Army Auto with Star

This olive drab Pyro car differs from the one featured yesterday in that a white star has been heat-stamped on the roof making it beyond doubts an Army staff car. We're a few posts into this series and I should mention that some of these cars make appearances in Bill Hanlon's book, "DIMESTORE DREAMS, Plastic Toys of the '40s &'50s". They are all shown as being part of a set with either a service station or a simple plastic garage, etc. Had I shown more foresight years ago when I was photographing these, I could've placed these in a grouping along with some of the toys shown in that book because I have the other pieces as well. Oh well, we'll plow through what I do have. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

Pyro's 'DPT189' marking on the trunk

It's a Small World After All: Pyro Small Auto 'DPT189'- Yellow HP

Over the years I've posted a fair amount of Pyro here on the blog, mostly Little Green Army Men kind of stuff. This time we have a regular civilian type auto. What kind of auto?? I have absolutely no clue. While the Wyandotte car posted yesterday screamed Nash Ambassador, this car screams late-1940s something-or-other! 😆 Soooo, I'm not gonna waste my time trying to figure out what this toy was modeled after. These Pyro cars are easy to identify as the letters 'DPT189' appears on the trunk inside a license plate outline. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
