A Set of 3 Hubley Terraplanes

Please click here to visit this fine ebay seller

I was perusing ebay, when I came across some very nice toys. The store on ebay, is Stripe4107, qnd the owner is Mr. Hardy Littleton. Mr Littleton has an excellent collection of merchandise for sale, and his photography is superb. Hardy also happens to have an excellent reputation as a seller on ebay. I found a trio of nice Terraplane cast iron toys in his store, and decided to present them for today's post.

The Terraplane was a car brand and model built by the Hudson Motor Company of Detroit, Michigan, between 1932 and 1938. In its maiden year, the car was branded as the Essex-Terraplane; in 1934 the car became simply the Terraplane. They were inexpensive, yet powerful vehicles that were used in both town and country, as both cars and trucks bore the Terraplane name.
