For sale is a tin friction 1955 Ford Thunderbird car made by Nomura of Japan. The car measures 8 inches or a little over 20 centimeters long. It is complete and original and it is in excellent condition. The car comes with its clear hardtop which can be placed on the car or the hardtop can come off, leaving a convertible. This hardtop cover is in excellent condition with only a few very minor scratches and no chips or damage. (The hardtop is usually missing from these cars since it was... removable and fragile.) The pale blue paint is also in excellent condition with a nice gloss and only a few small scratches. The chrome trim is in terrific condition as well, bright and shiny. The tires are like brand new with all the tread still on the tire and the whitewalls are also in great shape, with one small scratch. The base is in excellent condition and the friction motor works very well. This is a very detailed, terrific tin friction car in excellent condition. It is pictured on page 110 of the great Big Book of Tin Toy Cars. Thanks for looking!!!! Questions are welcome and I will be happy to provide additional photos.
