I just realized, I never specified VWs for this thread! Laughing

I remember those cars! It's a Marx ZOOOM MOBILE. Here's the listing from the 1965 Sears Christmas catalog.

I remember these from my childhood, but I was too old for one, so I envied them from afar ....

It's a Steha rubber Beetle from the 1950s.
