Nearly
130 automotive toys were donated to the Las Vegas Dream Center after being
featured in the new “Where the Love Affair Begins” exhibit at the Automotive
Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX) 2011 held in November in Las Vegas.
The Las
Vegas Dream Center exists to bring hope to the unemployed, underemployed,
homeless and destitute of Las Vegas.
The AAPEX
“Where the Love Affair Begins” exhibit was organized by the Toy Industry
Association Inc. (TIA) and included a wide variety of automotive toys, such as
matchbox cars, remote-control (RC) vehicles, ride-ons
and more. Attendees were able to stroll down memory lane and, at the same time,
get a glimpse of today’s hottest car-related innovations in toys. The overall goal was to highlight
the inspirational value of toys and recognize the tie-in between a favorite
childhood toy or game and adult vocations or hobbies.
