Does anyone know the name of the toy that was out in the mid- to late-1960s
that enabled the child to be able to draw cars? There were reen plastic
"sheets" with solid lines, dotted lines and dashed lines, and sections marked
1-3. To make a new card, you would trace all of the sections and all of the
lined areas. You could mix and match sections from one plastic sheet to
another. The paper was held down by a magnetic flip-down lid. There were
backgrounds (like bricks) that could also be traced. There was a similar toy
to make dresses (Barbie?). Anyone remember this toy? Anyone know what it was
called?

Thank-you

I could only find *one* reference to this from a google search of the
internet -- I tried mattel, hot wheels, drawing, design, create, stencils,
trace and various combinations of such.

Reference was to abstract art work a guy did using the stencils, but he
didn't include the name of the set. I shot the guy a note, so I guess we'll
see if he replies.

It's called a "Picture Maker Hot Wheels car designer set" and it's from
1969. I've got a couple of them, if you'd like to see a photo of it LMK.
