I have never wanted a pickup in my life. Until now. No, I have nothing to “pick up”, but still! What an amazing looking car/truck/thing.

I used to play with Hot Wheels sets with my friend in the 70s, and one thing the Deora had going for it was its low center of gravity and heft. It stayed on the track at all times, except for jumps, of course.

Oh man, memories. I had some of those. The little bubble top jobbie was my fave. I still want a bubble top car like that. I didn’t have patience for a 15 min video, I just dropped in here and there for the stills.
