Nylint has been making Tonka-type toy cars for decades.
Long before they entered the rc market.
What do you mean by "static"? As in - no motor or anything? Or does it have a friction motor? (pull back/let go)

I spotted a Nylint Tonka-type toy at the Cracker Barrel (restaurant/toy store) last weekend.

I'm 44 and remember having a Nylint tow truck as a kid. Tough as nails. Big, heavy Tonka-type vehicle.

I'm pretty sure they started in 1947. I used to have all their toy loaders and graders, backhoes and steam shovels when I was real young. they got good use in the sandbox and dirtpiles They had awesome U-haul trailers, very detailed from what I remember.

You should somehow hook up a motor to it.

I live near Rockford, IL the place where that truck was made. The factory is now gone. I used to work at the local Lexus dealer, the Nylint president would stop in time to time to have his car washed, seemed like a nice guy.

I used to have many Nylint trucks, I wish I still had all of them.

i always remembered nylints being good hard core toy trucks and stuff, just as tough as a tonka truck, but they always seemed to be less expensive for some reason.

My mom collects Harley Davidson junk and she has a Nylint Harley Davidson 18 wheeler. It even makes engine noises as you push it and air brakes when it stops.
