Product Description
This vintage Japanese tin litho friction-motor car is a charming mid-20th-century promotional toy modelled on the Ford Crestliner, finished in a bold red with classic chrome-style detailing. Made in Japan during a period when tin toys were celebrated for their craftsmanship and playful realism, it features lithographed details, working friction motor action, and the unmistakable streamlined styling of post-war American automobiles. Measuring approximately 17.5 cm in length, the car shows honest signs of age consistent with good used condition, adding to its authenticity and nostalgic appeal.
Once produced as both toys and promotional display pieces, tin litho cars like this reflect the optimism and design confidence of the 1950s era, making it a delightful example of vintage toy history and collectible automotive design.
