I want to share this info with you.Last night I was at a party and a friend related to me that he knows someone that has this motion car in pieces??? He is a car guy from way back in the Harvey days. I asked him to get me a pic of the car back when. He will get a copy of the pics and when he does I will share them with you.
Did motion build any Topolini cars??? I think thats the way you spell it??

Not that it can't be true but are you sure the guy's not confusing it w/ the Karbelt Fiat?.

I've heard the Karbelt car exists but have never found out who has it and would love to know also see proof that it is actually Curly's old car?.

I also asked if it was the same car and my friend said no it was not Karbelts car. I also heard that someone has the car and i will try to find out where the Karbelts car is and who owns it now.

That is a Fiat, a.k.a. a "Topolino" Italian Slang for Little Mouse.

Just my two cents of the Karbelt car. a few years back at the Speed sport show in Toronto I brought down some Drag Dimensions items . one good photo of the car.
I spoke to Gary Heavysege from Karbelt and if I remember he knows who has the car.
Last April I was at a model show and spoke to the guy who runs Perry's resins (sp) he makes a scale fiat body , I told him I was going to attempt to make a model of the Drag Dimensions car. which I have not yet. he said A friend who has the car and was restoring it, I asked if he would like to see the photo, but he smiled and that was the end of our conversation.
So that is all I have.

this is not my photo , found it on the net somewhere.
