![]() Today's car of the day is Toy State's 2007 Lincoln Navigator. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: Lincoln Navigator ![]() ![]() Here is a special COTD for jedimario. The third generation Navigator is my favorite of the Navigator designs, and the stars just happened to line up just right to get this model of the third gen into my hands. This model is an mp3 player, with light up headlights, tail lights, and under-chassis "neon" lights. I found it by chance in a KMart clearance bin, in either 2009 or 2010 (while I was living and working in Ventura, CA; it came from the Camarillo, CA KMart). I've not seen another since, and I've tried checking ebay multiple times ever since, to see if maybe this came in other colors, or if there were other models than might have interested me. At the time, there was also an F-150 and a '05 Mustang available in the same clearance bin, but both were oversized and looked "off" in the proportions. The wheels do roll, and actually, it is pretty fast. It doesn't have axles, but instead, each wheel is attached to the chassis independently (I noticed in the picture of the back end, the wheels look bent, but they are just a little loose on the mounting and I didn't set it up correctly to be balanced. I bet this SUV would do decently on the track, especially with the added weight of a AAA battery installed. ![]()

That is a unique little car - one you can play with in more ways than one! A little music as it rolls down the track. Really a pretty nice looking model of the Navigator.

Thanks Dean! I will have to try to track one down. It looks to be quite close to 1/64. |

Wow look at the fart can on that one! Some sort of trick spy flip up rear license plate and roof hieroglyphics too. ![]() Interesting piece, though I've never quite understood making keyrings/USB drives/music players out of vehicles. Those are things that if they get actually used, you're going to be handling them a lot and they'll also spend a lot of time rattling around in a bag or pocket. So the chrome will get worn away and they'll get dinged up. |

As they used to say on "Monty Python": And now for something completely different". Yeah, this certainly qualifies. Of course it also qualifies as the answer to a question nobody ever asked. Having said that,, if they'd made something like that in the form of a car that interested me more, I'd probably buy it too.
