Sport Cars were an anomaly of the 1960's and the toy industry was no exception. These distinguished cars were made with exceptional details. The Vette has an open engine with highly detailed components. Check out the side headers! The Coopers have a rear open engine with all 8 cylinder exhaust pipes straddling the motor. These car sets have been sitting in the toy factory warehouse for over a quarter of a century! Some have minor paint flecks, many have surface rust on the axles. Other than that they are in great shape.

This set of vintage sport cars come in the Point of Sale counter-top store display box. The box is the style that you fold the top marquis out and back, and it makes a nice display / sales unit. The sides of the box say, 3 Dozen ~ Midgetoy ~ 36 Toys ~ A & E Tool and Gage Co., Rockford, ILL. The box is red, white and blue. It looks very attractive on a shelf.

The display marquis reads Midgetoy ~ No Sharp Edges, Beautifully Finished, Break Resistant, Die Cast Construction, Ideal size, Built for Hard Play. It also proclaims, Step on it! It won't Break and Wheels Won't Mar or Scratch! The box is 7 ½ inches long, 5 inches wide and 2 inches thick, it has "Egg Crate" style cardboard separators that keep the cars from banging against each other. It is bedecked with the Midgetoy elves, and it says, 5¢ in a price circle with an elf on it.
