1930's Marx Wyandotte Toy Light Up Sedan Restoration

I purchased this toy 1930s Marx Wyandotte Sedan on eBay July of 2020. It was in great restore-able shape for its age being almost 90 years old. The headlights were busted, wheels shot, lots of corrosion and had the original battery. I replicated a battery label to put on a modern battery in order to keep it as original looking as possible. I The color did not come out quite how I wanted but I was still very happy with it. Thanks for watching!

I wish toys like these were still around. Durable, simple and fun to play with. Not like today where everything is made out of plastic.

[@geo2cv868]

This kind of toy is much more stylish than today's and you make yours own replacement wheels, it's incredible !

[@andyo4462]

Would you agree that old toys aren't the state of perfection, but they are way more kind and full of warmth than modern?

[@thijsversteeg9010]

Chip, this is a marvelous restoration. The paint job is excellent again.

[@stevecann3394]

So good to see when folk restore or make parts instead of just buying spares. A superlative effort all round.

Man, the best was the manufacture of the tires, they were incredible!👍

[@Skoda130]

They lookes pretty soft and rubbery though, while the old ones seems to have been made rom some type of hard early plastic.

[@OneRadicalDreamer]

I know the critics will complain about details being covered up, and about the shade of green being off, but all things considered, it's very impressive that you were able to clean it up that well! I found the entire process very engaging and satisfying! I'm looking forward to seeing more :)

[@ChipChannelRestorations]

Thank you! I wasn't thrilled with the paint color but otherwise was very happy with this one. Thank you for watching and the kind words!

[@estellesuarez27]

@@ChipChannelRestorations So, Its Key lime instead of Mint, either way you did an excellent job!

[@Frankowillo]

@@ChipChannelRestorations : Would it be possible to blend your own colours?

[@NiaJustNia]

@@Frankowillo yeah, maybe use a vibrating plate to ensure all the pigment is completely mixed together after hand mixing. Although you'd probably have to do a few test pieces to see exactly how the colour would come out as it'll look different after curing, but if it works, you can just keep a note of your ratios for next time. You could even have little containers with premixed custom colours if you think you'd need them again soon

[@emsnewssupkis6453]

I find that the worn paint gave it more character. Now, it looks blah.

[@jman3254]

.....the opening of it was awesome with the tow truck and the entire staging. Whimsical and full of childhood wonder.

[@marcwest7673]

It is just incredible that the car body was stamped from a single sheet of metal! Great work on the resto!!!!!

[@georgeshelton6281]

& I also remember; the mid to late 1980s NBC children's Saturday morning cartoon series called, 'Kid Video.' This Saturday morning cartoon series was also distributed by DIC Saben Enterprises and LBS. This children's Saturday morning cartoon series; features Robbie Rist as a teenager, which means he's a little older in this series.

[@toddbonin6926]

I just love what you do. You take these sad forgotten toys and bring them to life again. It’s so beautiful.

[@juanbanzai]

The shout-out to Shawn the Sheep was brilliant! Well done!!

[@759NPR]

I have to say...I've watched you do this in the recent past, and, even as a woodworker - it compels me to get a sandblaster !!, set up a paint booth, and start collecting great antiquities to restore as a hobby. I do to furniture essentially what you do to metal keepsakes. It's very inspiring, thanks loads for recording your excellent & intriguing work. And, I also noticed that "cat-scan"... it adds a nice touch to the process. The finished piece is absolutely beautiful & Impressive ! Keep it up !!

[@bettthompson4733]

As usual another great new restore. What a pretty car it is, I’ve never remember seeing one like this before? Thanks for letting us stay and watch with. you. Peace Out!

[@vbonz6239]

Back in the 30's that was a very expensive toy for having working lights and those that could afford a flashlight battery back then even to survive the all through the years if these toys could talk they would tell stories very good job on restoration of these toys. I have three nylint toys I passed over to my son that I kept in good shape

[@Primus54]

Great video demonstrating ingenuity for tire replacement! Only one problem... no way the wheels roll, they are oversized as are the axles. If only for display though, no worries! 👍

[@davegibson9641]

Expertly done. You have this down to a science. I need to invest in a sandblaster.

There is also the “art” of locating and securing these wonderful 20th Century toys! All well done. I recognize the large investment in equipment you have made. Thank you.

[@Jerepasaurus]

Can I just say, I'm both amused and delighted that while the original paint color was more of a Mint, you seem to have gone with a Key Lime, and I kinda love it even more, even though that color probably wasn't as popular for another 20+ years? lol ♥

[@elfowl6873]

Beautiful job, Chip!! . A really old car, now in perfect shape. Thanks.

[@carriescarbrough9869]

That shade of green was certainly popular during 20s and 30s!

[@oldman774]

This car is like a Chip Foose restoration, bumpers off to chrome after they have been modified to sit tighter on the body, body itself to the fabrication shop for a few small details, new Foose wheels and modern day air suspension 🤪

[@Datrebor]

That turned out beautifully and I like the shade of green it looks great. I always enjoy watching a part get sand blasted to clean bare metal. Thank you for the video.

[@debbie9563]

I LOVE the sheep! Them staring out reminds me of Children of the Corn.

By far the most soothing thing on the Tubes.

[@larryboysen5911]

I have four Wyandotte pieces...all "brand new"...old stock, never saw a child's hand, except this now 77 year old "child" A DeSoto Air Flow, a stake truck, a sedan/house trailer set and a sedan, almost a twin to your restoring project...no battery powered headlights. I'm also a standard gauge Lionel tin plate collector. That sand blaster really beats paint remover! Better than the day it was made! I was thinking...these charming toys would never hit the mass market today...unsafe for little fingers...today it has to be round and soft!

[@ChipChannelRestorations]

Thank you soo much for watching!

I had to subscribe just from the playful opening. The sheep are adorable. And like others here, I appreciate when the parts are made, rather than bought, whenever possible. What a beauty when you were done. Great job

[@tonyshoe3131]

I like the patina. I would have fixed everything , but left the patina.

[@georgeshelton6281]

I can see of just how history is coming back to life. It's going to still get me to think of the short lived; late 1980s Ruby-Spears NBC children's Saturday morning cartoon series, it's called 'Laser Tag Academy.' This Saturday morning cartoon series, was set in the year 3000.

[@georgeshelton6281]

From time to time; I also still remember; this CBS children's, Saturday morning cartoon series called 'Pole Position' distributed by DIC Saben Enterprises and LBS.

I want to first write that you are doing a fantastic job. Very impressive and very skilled. As a European, I wonder this: Toys have a collector's value. If a toy is restored in Europe and in the UK it loses all value. Patina is valuable. I think you would get a lot of money for this type of toys in Europe.
