This is a finely detailed model of the Flintstone's Flintmobile from Hot Wheels!
The Flintstones were created by Hanna Barbara. Broadcast by ABC beginning in 1960, it was the first
cartoon series ever scheduled on the networks during prime time. The series still enjoys worldwide popularity.
Flintmobile - Prehistoric car owned by stone quarry worker Fred Flintstone on the animated sitcom THE FLINTSTONES/ABC/1960-66. The Flintmobile was carved out of a tree trunk and rolled on log wheels that were propelled (and stopped) by feet power. At the ending of each episode, the Flintmobile flipped on its side when a waitress at a drive-in restaurant placed an oversized rack of dinosaur ribs on the side of the car.
For the full-length motion picture The Flintstones (1994) starring John Goodman, custom car designer George Barris created a facsimile of Fred Flintstone's Flintmobile. The car and chassis was built from square and rectangular steel tubing, wood reinforcement, fiberglass parts and the mechanical systems of a golf cart which allowed the actors to move the car without much effort. Its interior sported saber-toothed tiger skin upholstery, and a rock dashboard protected by a hide-covered canopy.
This would make an excellent addition to your collection or as a gift for someone special!
