They were either light green with red roof and wheels or vice-versa. I would take them apart and switch them around to make all green or all red ones or other combinations. I must have gone through at least 2 dozen of these.
I've been looking for one on eBay for awhile with no success. They either had just parts or if complete, were too high priced to me.
Finally, I bid on one and won it. It was still in its original package with its 29 cent price!!
Here it is:
Ok, its really a Crashmobile Jr. the original Crashmobiles came out in the 1950's and were larger.
Now I'm looking for one in the reverse colors, not in its package so I can play with it!!

Hi Michael:) I love reading your blog! Im not sure if youve checked etsy ever but if not they have some great vintage car toys and memorabilia!! http://www.etsy.com/search_results.php?search_query=car&search_type=vintage&page=3
<3 Miss and love you, Les
I remember this toy also. I had one and broke it. Mom hid one from me and I found it,of course I asked her if I can have it and I remembered playing with it after she gave it to me. But I don't know what happened to it. I wish I could get one today. I had mine in the early to mid 1960s. The toy did come out in the late 1950s. I got the first one at the grocery store. The stores back then had a turning rack full of toys. This was early to mid 1960s . I being a car fanatic found the 1st one on the rack. I must have found the 2nd one and Mom knowing me bought it and hid it from me for a later time. She knew I would tear it up too!!! But I don't know what happened to it??? I am thinking I lost the 2nd one??? The 1st one was thrown away. Anyway l am glad someone had one of these in the original package. Brings back good memories of days gone by. Thank you so much for posting the picture. This is great!!!
I wrote the letter above. If possible I would like to buy one if one comes available. Thank you. brosschevelle65@gmail.com.
