June 10, 2009My First Car is the Best Selling Car in America

It was recently announced that the Little Tikes Cozy Coupe - my first car was a 1987 model (pictured) - will soon take a spot at the Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum where it will be forever commemorated.

 According to Fox News,  ”the Cozy Coupe sold 457,000 units in 2008, topping the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. In the ’90s, it outsold both the Accord and Ford Taurus.”

Jalopnik points out that “like most small cars, the Cozy Coupe is made almost entirely of plastic and returns excellent mileage. Built in Ohio, the typical Cozy Coupe runs about $50 (MSRP) and comes equipped with modern features including an “ignition switch” and removable fuel cap.”
