This morning I purchased over 30 model toy cars for $7. Most of them are Chevrolet. All different models with engines too. Most average about 7-8 in in length. Trailers too. Probably someone's collection. They are all in nice condition but completely coated in dust. I need to clean them so I was thinking of wiping them down gently with disinfectant wipes. I know nothing about toy cars or if they have any value so I would love your feedback. (Toy cars are not my thing) The photos are an overview. Thx!

Everything there looks 1960's. I remember buying matchbox cars in those boxes back then. Probably been sitting in someone's attic for the last 50 years. I wouldn't use any chemicals on them, just a damp cloth. Nice find!

Nice purchase. Some real nice cars and in nice shape. You don’t see many boxes around anymore. Congrats

You could turn a nice profit at a garage sale.
You can easily sell some of those cars for way more than $7 each.
