Re: [Amc-list] so what are these doll things...

Unfortunately the big Nash is to far from me or I'd come get it! 

The dolls are called "time out dolls". You almost have it right -- the "child" is sulking after being put in "time out", not from a beating. The concept came up for simplicity's sake -- no facial detail needed! It can look more realistic turned around like that and the face won't give it away. The last place my kid would be in "time out" is against my collector car/hot rod though!! That's what room corners are for...

Looking for photos of a 53 Nash Airflyte (no offense, but I'm glad its
far away from me, the last thing I need is a new car the size of two
Americans in my yard :-) I found that above.

Please tell me: what's with those creepy doll things I see at car shows
They look like punished children cowering from a beating, or about to be
frisked by a cop. I assume that's not the intent. I always avoid cars
with those things leaning on them.

There I said it. Am I the only one?
