Some History The Dimestore Dreams line of plastic toy vehicles was created by Bill Hanlon, author of 'Plastic Toys - Dimestore Dreams of the 40s & 50s'. The vehicles are remakes of those sold in American dimestores in the years just after World War 2 in classic postwar America. At the time, the then new plastics industry allowed for production of inexpensive yet accurate models. Binary Arts, a games and puzzles company, teamed up with Hanlon for mass distribution. Binary Arts presented Dimestore Dreams vehicles in February 2000 at the New York American International Toy Fair. They came out with twenty-three different vehicles and sets over the next three years. The line's end was announced in 2002.
