I've had this one around for quite a while, as it's one of two Cruiser models/ toys I've found with the black bumpers that are like my 2002 parked here it was new.  Well, I have driven it almost 70,000 miles.  This one was made by KINSMART, China, and is posted on the bottom as both CHRYSLER (not Plymouth) and 1/68.  Is this a strange scale?  I don't think I've seen it before.

I had a box of these with key chains attached when the car was new. Quite popular at toy shows. Kinsmart made a wide variety of model cars in and around this scale. I still have the Mustang and new VW.

@d-m-holcombe Hi Dave 1:68th scale is one of those hidden scales. Wouldn't be surprised if a few current Hot Wheels or Matchbox were to this scale. Tomica at times still state scales for their miniatures and sometimes 1:68th is used.

PT Cruiser WAS marketed as a Chrysler, not a Plymouth, at least in the U.S.
