    Hmmm.... Looks like someone got a case of miniature cars and slid some cheapie plastic tablecloth/chip bag clips on the roof with some string and called them Christmas tree ornaments. Plus if it was coca cola I wonder why he didn't put up a picture of where it says that on the car or some other kind of verification. All that said, it could be real and my cynicism could be getting the best of me.

    Yep its just a 1:64th scale fresh cherries diecast. I hate it when people buy something like that for little to nothing and then throw a key ring on it or something like that (pass it off as something special or rare) and then try and sell it back to you for triple or more of what they have in it.

    I know my coca cola car has the hood open, and has a large COCA COLA decal on the door.

    I think Fresh Cherries with the cheap clip on ornament attachment. Cheaper to buy those and make a crap load of Fresh Cherries ornaments.

    Good idea actually. I have about 20 fresh cherries of various colors...THAT would make a cool Christmas tree...(y)

    buy a bunch of these cheap kids hair clips and some ornament hooks and you will be all set to hand as many 1:64 scale Mavericks as your heart desires
