The racer measures 8 1/2 inches or 22 centimeters long and it is complete and all original. It is in excellent condition with bright, vivid paint and strong lithography.
There are a few small scratches here and there but nothing major. The tires are in excellent condition and the friction motor works fine. This is a hard to find racer in great shape. The car is pictured on page 206 of the great Big Book of Tin Toy Cars Commercial and Racing Vehicles. Questions are welcome and I will be happy to provide additional photos.
