Way cool Mark!!!!

I never seen those diecasts before?

Years ago I had the johnny Lightning/playing mantis vintage funny cars but don't remember the little red wagon.

Very cool!

Looks GREAT!...That's why I chose this scale. There are soooo many options, with such great detail, to choose from. Thanks for the inspiration!

Looks great. I have one of those in 1/24 scale that I bought from Bill Golden (Maverick) (and autographed). I had bought a plastic model of his super stock Dodge that he raced in 1963 or so and in there was a flyer for some of his souvenirs. So I called the number and spoke to Bill him self. Ordered a bunch of stuff, mostly VHS tapes of his racing days and old Chrysler commercials and the die cast of the Little Red Wagon. A great guy, we were on the phone for around a half hour. He told me some of his racing exploits and how he came up with the dual breaks in the Red Wagon so he could steer it like a skid steer when the front wheels were in the air. There were actually 4 Red Wagons. He crashed Red Wagon #2 badly and was in the hospital all most dead for a long time. Glad he recovered to race again.
