I have a penchant for web surfing web sites pitching high end real estate.
I recently came across a property on Zillow in Stowe, Vt a stones throw from my future son-in-law parent’s house: It is huge with an 8 car garage on many acres, with all the luxury trimmings.
What really caught my eye is this pic. Upon further examination these vehicles being displayed are actually 5/8 scale “junior cars”, powered by gas or electric motors, for children of well to do families. I believe many were produced in Italy in the 1980s. I first saw one in the flesh in 1990
at FAO Schwarz Toys in NYC: a Porsche 936 in the winning Jules livery.
Today these are very collectible and bring in excess of $20k at auction.
