I remember this toy in Dominion Play World as a kid, as big as a Bert and Ernie fan that i was (My talking Ernie is in my office as we speak) I could not fathom why they would need a car.I honestly thought they weren’t old enough to drive and why is their car made of garbage? That seems like more of an Oscar the Grouch thing. I guess if Spiderman can have a car anything is possible……

Isn’t this from the famous “Bert and Loathing in Las Vegas” playset, where the trunk comes filled with mescaline, ether, LSD and a big bag of grapefruit for vitamin C?
It might explain the Count and his Bats hitchhiking.
That car runs on Oscar’s grouchiness.
I LOVE the fact that I’ll save
“1/3” off the original price! I had a later version of this. Bert and Ernie were “weeble” like, and the car was orange with white fenders. I guess us eighties kids weren’t able to handle the whimzie of 70’s color schemes. I think that car runs on pidgeon droppings! Bert had to have had quite a bit of pidgeon guanna somewhere!
i totally still have this car and the little bert and ernie inside it 🙂
