A little history on the Cozy Coupe (I LOVE this kind of stuff!): The Cozy Coupe is a red and yellow toy car manufactured and distributed by Little Tikes, an American manufacturer of childrens toys based in Hudson, Ohio. The toy reached 6 million units in sales by its 25th anniversary in 2004. The cars design, described as a cross between a Volkswagen Beetle and Fred Flintstones vehicle, was created by Jim Mariol of Cincinnati-based Design Alliance, who had worked as a designer at Chrysler starting in 1952. First sold in 1979 as one of the first molded-plastic toy cars sold in the United States, it was called the worlds best-selling car for much of this decade by The New York Times in 1998, outselling the Honda Accord and Ford Taurus. As of 1991, the Cozy Coupe was selling 500,000 units per year, making it the top-selling model in the United States, outselling the 399,000 Accords and 299,000 Taurus vehicles sold that year.
