Not every toy and gadget needs to have the latest CPU and polymer materials to be considered highly desirable and worthwhile. The Auditorium Toy Co. has produced a handmade, wooden push car toy that looks like some of the toys from your youth… but better constructed.

It’s not just a looker though – the Boattail Racer is handmade from materials that time cannot easily erode.

The wooden bodywork is sculpted from rugged 13 ply Baltic birch. The muscular stance comes courtesy of the 77.5 millimeter carnelian-core industrial grade wheels, which float effortlessly on precision bearings. Solid stainless steel axles and fasteners ensure faithful service for generations to come.

Just like the old Tonka toys, this solid birch and stainless steel toy will probably outlast you. Priced at $350 per toy, it does come in its own archive box that doubles as a presentation box.

The size system is also original, so users can get a model in different sizes(from XS series to XL series), depending on the use they need. Prices range from below 290 Euro to over 590 Euros.
