Marge's Car is the title of one of four Johnny Lightning Simpson's die-cast vehicles. The other three in this series are titled Homer's Car, Chief Wiggum's Police Cruiser (you can get both the white as well as LA looking black and white versions) and Springfield Elementary School Bus.
Marge's car is the orange station wagon with blue roof racks one from the opening credits that almost runs Homer over. Not just Marge, but both herself and Homer drive it in the actual show.
All of these four vehicles come with a little cardboard figure, it is important to note that you will not always get the same figure with each car so if ordering from an online seller and you are getting all four vehicles make sure you ask if possible to give you one with four different characters. Cardboard characters you may get are Marge, Homer with Maggie, Lisa, Bart or Auto. The black and white Wiggum police car is a bit more expensive but you shouldn't be paying more than $10 for any of these vehicles, they are pretty common on E-bay and elsewhere.
The cars are 1/64 scale, the same as the normal Johnny Lightning, Matchbox, Hot Wheels sized vehicles. They all look great and even those not into collecting cars are impressed and pick up these vehicles when they come to visit. Hopefully Johnny Lightning releases other vehicles from the show in the future as well, such as Snake's hotrod and Mr. Burns' Limo. You can get a variation of this car with mud spots on the doors and sides which was released as part of the Hollywood on Wheels Release 5 collection, which is where the black and white police cruiser is also from. If you're interested them, the school bus was also released with a banner saying School Charter, and the pink car's windshield was full of parking tickets. --James N Simpson Shop here
