I saw this one stuck back in a display shelf today and pulled it down, trying to remember.  Here it is:

Cute little bugger!  The bottom says "RENAULT 4CV, SOLIDO, MADE IN FRANCE, 1/43."  I did a little digging and found this type of Michelin man seems to date to about twenty years ago.

And then I found out there are some people who really like this sort of thing! (Click for an enlargement.)

I like parade cars, but somehow this one just tickles me right!   But I think the one is enough.  Does anyone else have one?  Or want one?

A couple of Eligor Michelin vans with the Bib figure (Mr. Bibendum).
