I think the car is more known out west and the swap meet guys go to Walmart at dark thirty every day and buy them all up to sell for exhorbitant prices to us other folks.

Yeah, I kept looking at Walmart, Target, and Toys R Us with my boys and I did'nt see any ... I ended up going to Frank and Son Collectible Show ( http://www.frankandsonshow.net/ ) and found some at $2 each :smile: ...

Do they still do that show? I remember when Frank and Son's was a trucking and warehousing company. That would be back in the mid 1980's.

Yeah, they're still doing their show ... although they've moved a few blocks away, North, and they're actually across the street (and little East) of California Mustang on San Jose Ave ...

....Can you say...Cabbage Patch Dolls???

;-))

I do remember the Cabbage Patch days. I wasn't quite in a scramble it was just that they were hung 10 deep side by side 5 rows high and you couldn't see what was in the back. They do pay someone to clean that all up don't they? I was thinking Job Security for someone.
