pawis
(50 items)
I found this car in a flea market.
This is friction car made of metal.
Apparently, it has a lot of use, because the wheels are worn.
The steering wheel is in the right side.
There is not signal of the manufacturer.
Any additional information would be appreciated, and thanks for looking.
Thanks Bellin68, you always so kind :)
Hi, pawis! Good to see you. Charming car! Hope someone can ID it soon for you. : ) Take care.
Hi Mikko... nice to see you!!!
This looks like it could have been built by the same company as the one I have posted.

The only thing I was able to find on it was that it was made in Japan.
Thanks walksoftly for the love and your comment., this one not have any label as Made in Japan, where did you find, where did yours the legend?
Thanks again!!!
I received mine as a gift in the late 60's. I played with it until it quit working, then I tried to fix it.
Here is a link to one on ebay with some more info;

I am surprised!! It is a really nice car, I think mine's value is much lesser that the ebay one. But, we just paid 5 bucks for it....
I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it.
Thanks PhilDavidAlexanderMorris....
