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

Wellll, I do believe that this is the very last post about anything related to the Marx #4672 'The Flintstones' playset - until I find something else. Basically though, this marks the end of one our series that started back on 30 May. As always, if I get anything else in that relates to the set, I'll post it. 

Barney's car as provided in the Marx playset includes a roof, however, most Barney's cars offered by toy companies are sans roof - a lot easier to manufacture! I'll post some ofthem here.

Marx Small Plastic Hot Rod No. '75'

It's been a bit busy this week but I should be on-track with posts tomorrow. Here's the last of the Marx hot rods I'll be posting this week, the small hard plastic No. 75. These photos were taken in 2009 and I'm just now getting around to posting them. As you can see by the first photo, the No. 75 is just a bit smaller than the No. 76 friction motor version posted a couple of days ago, but I never took the dimensions and the car itself is buried out in The Cave. I believe these may have come with various Marx filling stations but my catalog references only show the friction motor version.

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

This red-&-yellow version of Barney's car was supposedly the rare offering included in Montgomery Wards half-sets. Mine is missing two of the roof supports and a previous owner added a flame decal to the top of the roof (which BTW I like and have no plans of removing).

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.
