After seeing the post yesterday, I took a couple shots of some of my '57 Post Cereal cars. These came FREE inside the box back in the day and were made by the F & F Mold Co in Dayton, Ohio. They came in several colors, some being more rare than others thus determining their value.
In the 57 Model they made the Fire Chief car (red only) the Ambulance (red only) 4 door Victoria hard tops and convertibles.
I write the F & F Newsletter 4 times a year for the Club, we have about 85 members across the U.S.
Some of the other models include '50-'51, '54 & '55, 59 T -Birds '61 T-Birds, '54 Mercury's- '60 Ply
Anyone remember these?
Cool! Thanks for sharing. Loved getting stuff in cereal boxes as a kid. If the toys were still cool I'd rip the box apart tomorrow morning. I remember fighting with my sister as a kid for the prize....till I got a cuff in the head.
Don't remember those at all..yes, I'm old enough, but maybe too old is the problem. Cool items though...yours are sure mint. Thanks for posting.
Strick.... those are very cool!..... and they are most likely very rare.... any kind of promotional Toy in any old Advertising Scheme.... was (at the time) a throw away promotion.
I can bet 95% never made it out of a young boys sandbox.
I have over 100 F & F cars, the 50's- '54's- 55's etc. They also made Merc Marquis and Cyclones- the array of colors gets your blood pumping! Glad you guys enjoy!

show us more, they don't have to all be 57s, just how big are these.smaller than hot wheels would be my guess.
Zap- :unitedstates:
Sorry for the delay, been busy with Christmas. Pictured are a hand full- '55 Ford Crown Vic. '55 T-Bird. '60 T-Bird, '61 T-Bird roadster, '66 Mustang 2 + 2, '69 Cougar and 69 Merc Cyclone. Again, I have well over 100 cars. Color is the key, one of the rarest (not pictured but I do have it) is the Bloomfield green '52 Merc 2 dr sedan, value is $400-$500! These are about 3" long, trying to add pics but they are too large. Thanks, Alan
Will add a another picture. This is the 69 Merc Cyclone.
There has been some reproduction F&F 57 fords on ebay, made in new colors, if any one wants to add to their collection.
