The board game Monopoly has been translated into 37 languages, exists in hundreds of licensed versions and sold over 250 million copies since patented by Parker Brothers in 1935. In 1937, the first cast-zinc race car token was added to the game. Small lightweight open-wheeled cars with long external headers, rounded hoods and capped with vertical-slat grilles-the Monopoly car game piece captures all the Midget racer characteristics in its tiny token form.The oversized Monopoly car you see here was made by Biscuit Filmworks, a London and Los Angeles-based commercial production company and featured in a 2009 AT&T commercial.
Built on a modified golf cart chassis with a 48-volt electric motor, the hand-molded fiberglass body contains all the important details from the game piece.
