Up for bid is this Big (16") Yonezawa two tone 1957 Ford Tin Friction car with bright colors, and complete as you see. This car does not come up too often, and when it does they are either re-painted, or in poor condition. This one is Excellent and all original. Original green tint celluloid windows, rubber tires with no cracks or dry rot, "Ford" lithoed on the center of each hub-cap, and friction. Friction is there but is stiff and does not continue to roll on it's own, rather when pu...shed it has the friction sound and feel.
The car is very impressive and makes a fantastic display. There is a small touch up on the roof a couple inches long. The touch up is almost not visible, but I took an overhead shot (photo #9). It is difficult even in person to see it, and does not impact the display value but is noted for full disclosure. The car is original and complete. The front passenger side upper corner celluloid is a little loose but in place as you see in the photos. Vivid and vibrant two tone blue and creamy soft-blue-white color displays beautifully. The fully lithographed interior dash and seats are like new. The seats have embossed lines in the lithoed cushions and the dash has a metal steering wheel.
"The Big Book of Tin Toy Cars" rates the scarcity of this vintage tin toy car at "7" and at a considerable value. This beautiful and classic big '57 Ford would make a nice addition to your tin toy or tin car collection. If you have any questions please contact me. Thank you.

Length : 15.5"
Width : 7"
