I remember us taking the kids to Universal's amusement park in Florida, must
have been the late 1980s. They had an outdoor restaurant, maybe called the
Drive-In Restaurant. All the tables were built inside of real cars from the
1950s. These were'nt complete cars, they were modified and shrunk the front
and rears. But made from the real thing. Had working headlights and
taillights. We sat in a 1957 Chevy for our meal. Next time we went in the 90s
the restaurant was gone. You could make the roadster into a breakfast nook in
your dining room.
But I think your grandkids will enjoy the roadster couch/toy-chest.
