I'm not sure but I think I remember it from my Hot Wheels collection from way back.

HotWheels did do a version of this car, but they didn't get permission and licensing from its builder until the late '90s

Yup, you got it Krash, I think AMT or maybe JoHan had a kit of the Mantaray back in the late 60's....I do remember a reissue kit offered in the early 90's. With the exception of the tires screaming early 60's, its one custom car that has never really aged.

You're up Marshall, what do you have for us to ponder over?

Well its face is even worse than its butt, we have a 1963-64 Lightburn Zeta Runabout from Australia, one ugly little toad of a microcar for sure.

How about something from the other end of the spectrum, who knows what this lovely creation is?
