One can never have too many HO-scale autos, no matter how crude. Or outdated.

So last week at the haunt, Bethany found these for me on the bottom shelf: a group of ancient one-piece plastic rubber cars.

They're crude but interesting - they have the auto makes stamped onto the trunk. They're all early-50's designs. There are convertible and hardop versions of the same car.

But I have no clue who made these, or why. So what did she find? Anyone have a clue?

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
