Where do they get their ideas?

[Wayne M.]

Sometimes I wonder weather or not kids toys influence real things that are actually made. Two examples are the Plymouth Road Runner, it was a cartoon first and the Ford Tonka idea. I was looking at the center caps of the wheels on my truck and I was trying to figure out for a while why they looked like something else. It came to me when I was spending time with my son. Little tykes toy trucks have used the wheel pictured here long before our wheel was designed. Look for yourself, you have to laugh!

Well in my opinion I think the Dodge boys let the workers in their assembly plant design the wheels as well as the interior color sceam. Then the workers wifes picked out the fabric!! Who wears black pant and khaki shirts??
