brown coupe is a 1979-1985 oldsmobile toronado, silver sedan is a toyota cressida, red sedan looks like a datsun |

I think the red sedan might actually be a Corolla |

Huh, that’s actually a real (or was a real) company. For some reason the façade looked a bit fake (like it was quickly put together for the movie) Info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_World |

I thought it looked familiar. I used to love Children's Palace when I was a kid. I got a lot of Micro Machines there (another brand that is no longer with us). |

My God, there was one at Randhurst complex at Mt. Prospect, IL I used to go there when I was young. Now defuncted. |

Anyway, back to the cars, was it for the silver sedan or the red one? |

I agree with wagonmaster about the Cressida. The red one looks Datsun'ish for me, too. Sunny or so, I guess. |

This Child World was in Forest Park, IL. It has been demolished. |

"Child World" sounds so out-of-the-way uppity. Like a place where you can literally buy children. -- Last edit: 2022-12-14 15:41:18 |

^ Many places these days have "Baby Change" facilities, presumably so that if you don't like yours, you can swap it for a better one?? |

Yeah, I've seen those as well... This translation pretty much crapped itself: Link to "cdn.prod.www.spiegel.de" (in German it says "changing table" like it's an Excel document that's constantly updating itself) |

Sorry for going slightly off-topic, but did you know there were various blind alleys on the long road to safe child travelling by car? One of them was a top-mounted stretcher which easily allowed the little fellow to reach breath-taking speed in case of an emergency stop, completely unhindered by seat backs or any other stuff that might have gotten in the way - long before the Bay City Rollers sang 'Bye Bye Baby'!![]() |

Well, this was the same era that brought us atomic energy lab kits with real uranium. Truly the fifties was the most deadly stupid era of all times. -- Last edit: 2022-12-14 16:47:15 |
