Marx Friction Motor Hot Rod No. '76'

Here's another Marx friction motor hot rod, the No. 76 in silver HP. This one is smaller than the No. 2 posted yesterday - which is 5"L - but these photos are old (2009) and I never recorded the dimensions. Also too, the box these are in out in The Cave is buried so I don't have ready access to the car to take measurements and make comparison photos. The first reference to these in my files is the 1955 Sears Wishbook.

Marx #4672 'The Flintstones' Playset (1961) - Odds n' Ends - Extra Barney's Car - Red-Blue

Barney's car is the toughest to find complete. Marx decided to include four small, spindly, easily breakable, and easily lost roof supports for the roof. As they are a bear to find, most of the time I just leave two of them off.

A few cars I cobbled together over the years. 

This all-red version was included in the '90s era Ruby Edition Flintstones playset.

Here's a couple of screen grabs showing two different cars in Season 1. I haven't bothered to look at the entire series and record variations but I'm betting there's a bunch.

Screen Grabs

S1 E1 The Flintstone Flyer

This has all four roof supports and was probably the inspiration for the Marx version.

S1 E5 The Split Personality

The sporty version - no roof at all

Red-Blue v1

I had to use an extra yellow roof support to be able to assemble this.

v2

This one has three of the four blue uprights.

I could always use the blue upright from the car above to make this an accurate complete version if I want to.
