taxiguy ◊ 2008-09-08 21:17	I think the red sedan might actually be a Corolla
Neptune ◊ 2008-09-08 22:58	Huh, that’s actually a real (or was a real) company. For some reason the façade looked a bit fake (like it was quickly put together for the movie) Info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_World
CougarTim ◊ 2008-09-08 23:27	I thought it looked familiar. I used to love Children's Palace when I was a kid. I got a lot of Micro Machines there (another brand that is no longer with us).

Neptune ◊ 2008-09-09 19:46	Anyway, back to the cars, was it for the silver sedan or the red one?
Ingo ◊ 2008-09-09 19:50	I agree with wagonmaster about the Cressida. The red one looks Datsun'ish for me, too. Sunny or so, I guess.

Gamer ◊ 2022-12-14 15:59	Yeah, I've seen those as well... This translation pretty much crapped itself: Link to "cdn.prod.www.spiegel.de" (in German it says "changing table" like it's an Excel document that's constantly updating itself)
Animatronixx ◊ 2022-12-14 16:42	Sorry for going slightly off-topic, but did you know there were various blind alleys on the long road to safe child travelling by car? One of them was a top-mounted stretcher which easily allowed the little fellow to reach breath-taking speed in case of an emergency stop, completely unhindered by seat backs or any other stuff that might have gotten in the way - long before the Bay City Rollers sang 'Bye Bye Baby'!
Gamer ◊ 2022-12-14 16:46	Well, this was the same era that brought us atomic energy lab kits with real uranium. Truly the fifties was the most deadly stupid era of all times. -- Last edit: 2022-12-14 16:47:15
