As much as children beg and cry for the latest piece of technology or newfangled toy on the market, give them a cardboard box and they'll probably have a better time thanks to their boundless imagination; enter these modern vintage toy cars. Although they don't light up or make crazy sounds, they make up a cool collection that are durable enough to be roughly played with and chic enough to be displayed in the home when not in use.
Designed by Vlad Dragusin and Candylab Toys, the modern vintage toy cars were brought to life after a very successful Kickstarter campaign. Reviving the glamorous 60s American modernist vibe, children will be able to create their own narrative around them.
