1959 Buick Hardtop 11 Japanese Tin Car by Ichiko NR

Another big Japanese tin car by Ichiko. This beautifully restored and hard to find Ichiko Buick 2-door hardtop measures approximately 11" long (27.9 cm) by 3.25 tall (8.3 cm) and 4.25" wide (10.8 cm). This is a very nice looking Buick that you seldom see. The lithographed interior is nice and adds rich complimentary color to the 2-tone navy blue and cream paint. The car features very detailed tin trim including headlamps, tail lamps with plastic inserts, grill and side trim. There are a few areas in the trim where the copper under plating is visible. The celluloid windows are original and have shrunk slightly, however the car still displays nicely. The car does have a few old touchups in both the blue and the cream, and there are a few minor dents and dimples, typical of these lightweight tin cars. But even with all that said, the colors are nice and the trim is nice and original. The base plate is of course has been repainted along with the rest of the car and the friction works, as it should. This car comes from a very old collection. The item "1959 Buick Hardtop 11 Japanese Tin Car by Ichiko NR" is in sale since Sunday, June 26, 2016.
