Based out of New York City Durham distributed the entire range of Lone Star Impy castings in Durham packaging labeled as "Pee-Wee Motors". Their offerings also included a small box inside the blister card.

Around 1970, Durham also distributed a line of (4) 1:55 scale plastic cars with red line wheels similiar to those used by Hot Wheels. The maker of the castings is not known but the castings each have Durham Industries on their base.
