If this is true then he got severely screwed! Husky was indeed the
manufacturer, and the name eventually changed to Corgi, Jr. They were
available in both gold and red, with a blue plastic hardtop.
I find at least one at every toy show I go to, each hovering around
the $12 to $15 range. I currently have 5, 2 with the hard to find blue
plastic hardtop. I wouldn't recommend passing this information on to the
poor guy who paid $100 for it, but it may be interesting for the rest of
you.
