John Morrison sent along this picture of himself in 1955 clutching two of his favorite toy cars, and I could’ve sworn he somehow rifled through my parents’ family album and found a similar picture of me doing the same. Or of my father doing the same. Or of my brother doing the same. Y’know, I’d bet just about everybody reading this blog has a similar picture tucked away in their family album.
But John swears that’s him, clutching a Porsche Speedster. His question, however, deals with the other toy car behind him, the one that kinda looks like it ganked some elements of the GM LeSabre concept. It’s clearly not the LeSabre, however, so John would like to know what car, if any, his toy was based on.
We’re thinking it wasn’t so much based on a real car as it was based on some toy designer’s flight of fancy, considering the late 1950s fins and the pre-1958 single headlamp front styling on the same car. Toy car historians, we’d like to hear your input.
