I remember wandering around the Chevy OK Used car lot many times as a kid in the neighboring town. One time we went and we came home with a '60 Corvair that my dad used as his go to work car.

Hard to believe that GM at one time would have dealers sell used the cars under the premise of just being 'OK'.

Love the Hauler. M2 can be found at my Wal-Marts here in Charleston, South Carolina and I have bought some of them. |

Is this some 60s version of "certified pre-owned"? Definitely more honest

Nice hauler. I haven't seen any of these since Christmas at WM here...and then there were a ton of the 100year anniversary ones. |

M2 haulers are so nice!!! Heck are they the only ones who even bother to make them. Johnny Lightning never has had one that's for sure!!! |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

Rob, not quite certified, but I think "OK" back in those days had a different meaning than just "acceptable," as I believe we think nowdays. "OK" was like thumbs up, good to go, everything is just fine, etc. The early space launches used the term "A-OK" in radio dialog to signify a condition or function was operating correctly, then later changed it to "Go." (Maybe NASA thought "OK" didn't sound confident enough.) Dave, that's a cool and impressive setup you got there. That one is worth having just to display a good mix of older Chevy's like you did. The only new trailer set I've seen at WM (mixed in with all the Chevy 100 Years leftovers) was a Chrysler 300 rig. They should have done a more generic MoPar or "Forward Look" rig. I'll be looking for the "OK" rig you have! Edited by ivantt, Apr 18 2012, 06:31 PM.

Didn't they spend the 90s and early 2000s selling new cars that if you were lucky, were just ok? That OK Used logo brings back memories though. |

I like that rig! I remember the big OK circle up above the used car lot at the Chevy dealers. |

Both Wal-mart and Toys R Us have restocked the M2 haulers in the past 4 weeks here in Virginia, USA, not many, but at least 4-5 on the shelf now. I picked up two of those 57 Chevy COE car haulers myself. ![]() Jerry |
