Depends on whether you include the feet that hang through the rusted floorboards in the back seat. This is not a design flaw, of course, but an extra "braking" feature -- Flintstones style!
Time to build that museum, start out small and add on later, when the donations of robots and money start coming in, it would be worth $5 admission to me.
Don't know when i'll get to the west coast though.

At least 1 more cubic foot for the non-existent battery that fell through the floor pan.
Now we are just beating up on erco's prized possession.
Erco took Louis Marx seriously when Marx used to ask, "One of the many Marx toys, have you all of them?" Erco, it was just an advertising slogan -- you don't actually have to do it!!
Marx toys were sold by my nearby supermarket (which 55 years later is now a Dollar Tree, and it seems *tiny* inside), and I'd spend my time reading all the boxes while my mom shopped. Very occasionally I'd get to have one, but not if it was within about 4 months of my birthday or Christmas. Since those days are roughly half a year apart, there was a one or two month window where I could get a toy without it being a special day!
Wish we could have working desktop robots that looked like this. They wouldn't be made of tin, but 3D plastic would be okay. Put some some of those nice micro motors on it, your favorite processor, and have it do real stuff.

Nice! Col. Hap Hazard is much better looking than me, so "truth in advertising" forces me to stick with my daughter's drawing for the time being.

Never thought you should, don't mess with a masterpiece that could end up in the Louvre Museum some day.
Here's the Col. With a transparent background.

OM Gosh. This conversation is OVER! Zintar RULES!
You got to admit that's character.
If Zintar is so good - Where is the plywood? Take a look at this photos of Zerak!
Now, the conversation is over... Zerak is even pictured on top of plywood!
Definitely on a 1960 model, if you throw the black arms in...
That's where I seen that before, in the road. I hope Whit isn't too attached to Zerak, it does have a nice color.
