We've been seeing these around for some time now at craft fairs and cool artsy shops in the city. Little cardboard cut-outs of archetypal Philadelphia homes, including row homes, a "Fishtowner" town house, and a trinity (small three story homes that proliferate in parts of South Philly and Kensington). 
Small emblematically Philly vehicles are also available, including a Mambo movers truck, a Kenzinger beer truck, and a classic Philly food truck.These little craft works are sold under the name Grand Circus Paper & Toy (though the previous incarnation, Daymaker Industries, also has an apparently active store on Etsy, with slightly different merchandise). If you see the company at a fair, they'll build the model for you. At stores, they are usually available both ready made or in flat form.
But part of the thrill is putting together your very own miniature Kenzinger truck.Prices range from $3 to $7. Products available at Grand Circus's Etsy site.
