This car came from my Grandfather's estate. Was purchased new by an ancestor and was well played with over the years. The car still works great my three year old begs me to run it!
When the bumpers hit something it will change direction!

Wow! Thanks for all the loves. So I am not the only one! Nobody else in my family wanted it. It was love at first site for me!
Nobody wanted it????? I would not have to be asked twice.
What a great item!
What a great toy. Have never seen one.
Love them Coupes!
Love it!!!! fantastic
Thanks for the new comments and loves! Hopefully it stays in the family for more generations!
Looks like a great toy, I should look for something like this on ebay, maybe I could find one, for myself :~)) Phil.
LUV to back-pack around the front of this style of car. Dick Tracy-idis !
Phil, there's one on the 'bay in a little worse condition right now. You might want to wait for one to show up in nicer shape, though. It'll run you a little more but will be worth it in the end since the mid range ones still aren't cheap.
This car isn't in that great of shape but still runs. Lucky for me I got it free! But worth lots more to me than I could get off ebay because it is tied to memories of Grandpa. I have seen some in amazing shape being sold on the internet. Not particularly Ebay but specialty toy auction sites. It surprises me what they claim to sell them for. Granted they are practically new looking but upwards of $1200.00.
Thanks for new loves and comments!
