Hi, thought this was an interesting toy, it's all plastic, about 6 inches long, Tootsietoy, but still made in USA. Anyone know how late they were making these in the US, this would have been mid 80's I think...

The Pontiac Fiero was a mid-engined sports car that was built by the Pontiac division of General Motors from 1984 to 1988. The Fiero — meaning "proud" in Italian and "fierce" or "ferocious" in Spanish — was designed by Hulki Aldikacti as a Pontiac sports car. The Fiero was the first two-seater Pontiac since the 1926 to 1938 coupes, and also the first and only mass-produced mid-engine sports car by a U.S. manufacturer.


Wiki says the 1/1 was in production from '84-'88. It's possible Tootsie Toys could have still been producing this up into the mid 90s.

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!
I had a red one that looked just like that! I thought it was a bit bigger than 6 inches long, but that may just be memory failing me.

I got mine in the mid '80s, and I don't recall seeing many past that. I do miss these larger scale plastic cars. They just faded away over the years- I never see new ones!
