With Ezra's growing infatuation with "car-cars" I thought it was important that this mommy brush up on her random car knowledge. As I was doing this brushing up I can across a very surprising fact:

What car outsold every other car in the U.S. in 2008?

It would be a good guess if you said Toyota Camry or Honda Accord.

Good, but not right.

Here's the answer:

The Cozy Coupe by Little Tikes

The Cozy Coupe sold 457,000 units in 2008, topping the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. In the '90s, it outsold both the Accord and Ford Taurus.

It would land in the top-20 best-selling models of all time, if considered, having sold more than 10 million units in its 30-year history.

This classic toy car is being inducted into the Cleveland auto museum this week. The museum will house one of the first Cozy Coupes to come off the production line in 1979.

See, you really did learn something new today =)

I learned something new... thanks. We have had one, two and three of these for a long time :) Actually any of our original Little Tikes toys were a great investment. I wish we had bought stock in that company :)
