    Thats cheating! Its just a model! LOL
    (HO scale. The wagon was made by Ingap, and is a very crude representation of a 1961 Chevy wagon.)

    This reminds me of the Travel Lodge here in Yakima.

    I remember the bear on the side of the building when I was a kid. It still stands, But unfortunately, the neighborhood has gone south and it's now owned by the city as offices and a parking facility for city vehicles.

    America’s cars win over Australia.

    Australia’s big Chrysler’s were versions of what in America were marketed as compacts – the Plymouth Valiant and Dodge Dart. The Plymouth Valiant, introduced in 1959, was a major success in the United States. Not surprisingly, Chrysler saw the Australian market, which was getting more affluent and wanted cars to match its own wide open spaces rather than the European sized vehicles previously popular down under, as a great opportunity for the Valiant.
    The first ever Valiant to land in Australia was a single example of the Q series imported in 1960 for evaluation – which after being sold on was wrapped around a tree! The Q proved difficult to right-hand drive because the slant of the engine prevented a simple gearbox move.

    #9764 NO! Only in adds.
    In real life kids and pets are not allowed outside the $300,000 motor coach for fear they may be bitten by an insect or carried off by critters, both human and woodland types.
    And why would the family cook out in the elements when they have a microwave and wide screen TV inside?
    The only positive thing I see here is the use of the red solo cups.:drink:Fill me up!
