this is true. those cars weigh around 500-700 pounds . by them self depending if it was the older smaller ones like the one pictured here . the other one in the last pic they are fiberglass the older ones are metal and solid with a hard rubber bumper with a metal strip around it. here is a pic of one from the late 40's or 50's or so. i forget which it is . but this one is in for repair as u can see there is no padding for the back of the seat . :O)
