Indy Story

Item #5033

(February, 1988) Indy is named for the Indianapolis Speedway, home of the Indianapolis 500, which was first run in 1911. Indy and Monty, the first two in a series fo race car drivers, like to race against each other. Sometimes, just for fun, they even like to race against the Woodspirits riding on the train cars. Indy is driving a 1938 Mercedes W 125 Coppa Vanderbuilt, similar to the Mercedes that won at Monte Carlo in 1937. Since it rains in Indianapolis in the summertime, Indy is likely to get wet, but his trophy for winning will be a little green apple. He will eat it at his next “pit” stop.
