HANNA-BARBERA Wacky Races toy car Atom Ant & Wally Gator ornament 1999
This is a previously-owned, plastic, green “Wacky Races” toy car manufactured by Wendy's in 1999 under license from Hanna-Barbera / Cartoon Network. It is missing all of the decals except the driving sticker, which pictures Atom Ant, Wally Gator, and Droopy. It measures approximately 4 inches by 2½ inches and may have doubled as a Christmas ornament (not sure).
“Wacky Races” is an animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions for CBS on Saturday mornings. The series features 11 different cars racing against each other in various road rallies throughout North America, with all of the drivers hoping to win the title of the "World's Wackiest Racer.” The cartoon had many regular characters, with 23 people and animals spread among the 11 race cars. The show ran from 1968 to 1969 and in syndication from 1976 to 1982. Seventeen 20-minute episodes were produced, with each of them featuring two 10-minute segments.
