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 #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.

Marx #4672 'The Flintstones' Playset (1961) - Odds n' Ends - Extra Flintmobile - Red (From Parts)

This car was put together totally from job lot parts. Marx did not offer this all-red version and the '90s era Ruby Edition playset did not include a Flintmobile made from the original Marx tooling.

'90s era ReMarx (aka New Marx, Marx of Miami) Ruby Edition playset Flintmobile. 

Apparently the original tooling didn't survive for them to have included it in the playset.
