I got this at the toy show in Dayton, OH today. I almost passed it by. I decided to look closer at it and saw on the bottom: "FRICTION POWERED FUNKY CHUNKY VANS CREATED BY GEORGE BARRIS OF HOLYWOOD" I thought the price was right, $25.00, so I bought it. Sure looks like the "Paddy Wagon" to me!  Marty |

Pretty nice. It looks more like a mix between the T-Buggy and Munsters Koach with a big moter. You looking to sell it ? ;D

"Funky Chunky" ... sounds like a candy bar or a dance step.

Did anyone notice who the designer was when MPC introduced the kit ? This is not the first time that George Barris claimed something was his when it wasn't.
