This is another gift my friend gave me. I was really excited to get them and to know that I had to sit. I don't know what they are and what their words but there's something really cool to me.

Cute little car!! Unfortunately, it's not antique. The Phillips head screws, like the ones used in this one, are widely used in reproductions today. But, reproductions are still fun to collect though.
what jscott said and I'll add that the roughness of the casting is another dead give a way.
AmyLou0526, I'm going to link your two iron model car posts together here in the comments, because it does seem like they have a common distribution source:

I probably shouldn't have referred to the Iron Art Company as the makers, as it seems that they didn't make the castings, but rather assembled and painted them. Unnamed independent foundries did the actual castings.
Rough or no, I really like them. I came within inches of buying one of those big JM 304 open top double-decker touring buses. I talked myself back out of it, as I already have too many doodads. };-)
