Toy car storage device

A toy car storage device for storing toy cars, the toy car storage device comprising:

• a storage body that is defined by a top edge, a bottom edge, a front edge, and a rear edge;
• a plurality of wheels adjacent the bottom edge, some of the wheels being adjacent the front edge, and some of the wheels being adjacent the rear edge;
• a plurality of storage recesses formed in the storage body, each of the storage recesses being sized and shaped to receive one of the toy cars;
• a plate frame mounted adjacent the bottom edge of the storage body, the plate frame having an upper ridge and a lower ridge which together form a plate receiving space therebetween, so that a plurality of plates may be slidably mounted in the plate receiving space frictionally held between the upper and lower ridges of the plate frame;
• first and second slots each formed in the bottom edge, between the plate frame and the front edge of the storage body, each slot extending upwardly into the storage body beyond the lower ridge of the plate frame;
• a first stabilizer stand having a first interlocking portion, and a pair of laterally extending legs, the interlocking portion interlocking with the first slot;
• a second stabilizer stand having a second interlocking portion, and a pair of laterally extending legs, the second interlocking portion interlocking with the second slot;
• wherein the first and second stabilizers, when interlocked with the first and second slots, function to support the storage body in an upright position, and the first and second interlocking portion of the first and second stabilizers extend beyond the lower ridge of the plate frame to block any of the plates from sliding out of the plate receiving space between the upper and lower ridges;
• and
• wherein the first and second slots are each positioned between the wheels adjacent the front edge, and the wheels adjacent the rear edge, and the first and second slots are positioned a distance from the plate frame, the distance being small enough so that the plates slidably mounted in the plate receiving space are blocked by the first and second stabilizer stands and cannot be removed from the plate receiving space when the first and second stabilizer stands are mounted in the first and second slots, respectively.
