2001mar30. Indian Bharatiya 707 Car. This sweet, sweet chariot has been constructed out of discarded metal cans and tins by molding them into a pleasing car-like shape. The wheels are also fabricated in this fashion (they do look strikingly like bottle caps, though). The vehicle is labelled "Not a Toy!" and "For Collectors Only" (I think it's a more succinct phrase than "usually kids don't play with things that have horrifically sharp edges") and was made in India, then sold in America for the staggering sum of $1.95. Because it's all chopped up, you can only read part of the product's spiel. CHINE ANTIQUE Wouldn't it be a corker if these things were created by child labor?
