Toy Car Collectors is a shared e-mail group devoted to collectors of die-cast, white metal, cast iron, tinplate and other automotive toys and models. The group is hosted by Mr. Dana Johnson, author of the "Toy Car Collector's Guide" and various guides to Matchbox toys. Visit www.toynutz.com or e-mail toynutz@earthlink.net for more details.

SHORT HISTORY: This is one of the oldest majordomo (shared e-mail list) groups on the internet, founded on Dec 28, 1998, as diecast-toy-cars@yahoogroups.com, although it existed via a previous internet service provider as far back as 1995. In a recent subscriber poll, a majority of voting subscribers agreed that changing the name to toy-car-collectors@yahoogroups.com would be a good idea in appealing to a broader base of collectors and drawing more interest in the group.
