All of us are always on the lookout for N Scale vehicles.
On a visit to a friends layout I was admiring some of Mike Cannazzero's autos and upon asking him where he got them I was surprised when he told me they were micro machines by ERTL and were from a series run of Dick Tracy cars in several scales.
They have some Dick Tracy logos on them that are easily removed with the use of a pencil eraser. The Black and white police car has a star on the side that is a sticker and can be peeled off.
These can be still found on the E auction by putting in Dick Tracy Micro.
Here is a comparison to two Classic Metal works vehicles (the pickup and the Plymouth on the left).

We've got a whole box full of them and since they evidently aren't made anymore, we snatch them up at yardsales or wherever we happen to come across them. They're not the greatest in detail but they're perfect for my 7 year olds n scale layout.
My kids love the fact that daddy uses Micro Machines on their...er...his layout...
