I used to collect those cars when I saw them at yard sales. The wonky, weird ones were my favorites as the hands of the parents were obviously not on them. They were so charming and hopeful looking.

From you, Mark, it would be an honor. IT would be the trophy in my collection. As a Brownie way back in the day, I so wanted to make a car and race it. Mine would be the bestest and most beautiful one there. It would be accessorized with windshields and bumpers and roll down that hill the fastest to beat the boys. I made my own wonky doll house furniture so piece O cake. Lol. Your metaphor was so appropriate to what is happening now.
Thanks, Janet. It's great that you like to create stuff. I made Christmas presents for each of my kids until each was 10. Dollhouses, toy train tables, baseball bats., paintings. One year, I did a painting for my six year old daughter on a block of wood. She told me, "I wasn't sure Santa was real but I know he is because you (me) couldn't paint something that good."
That old green Derby car is the 1967 layer of a landfill somewhere, probably in New Jersey's Meadowlands.

Want a drab-looking green one missing its wheels? I have it on my shelf where a big trophy is supposed to be. I sell to you....cheeep!
Seriously, though, Janet. I was touched by your use of "hopeful." It's true that kids that age are full of hope. Or at least used to be.
