1959 Oldsmobile tin toy friction car Ichiko. I will invoice you within 24 hours.
Here for your consideration is a VERY nice all original tin Oldsmobile in the coolest color combo this toy came in. It is close to mint, Id say a pretty strong 8.5/9, and Im critical. The friction motor works perfect and has that whine that we all love.Tires and caps are like new. All the tinted window plastic and steering wheel are firmly in place, and the paint and chrome (and gold accents) are incredible. I have never seen a nicer example, and have owned quite a few and been to quite a few shows/seen collections. The hood has a couple of tiny lines of paint missing in the high spots, chip here and there, especially the drivers side pink top spear, and a factory touch up of red on drivers door below the vent window that hits the pink a bit.
Im being REALLY fussy here, because I assume you are as well. These cars came in several versions, (colors and cop versions) but this is my personal favourite, maybe yours?
This car looks to have never been opened or tampered with in any way. This toy can be seen on page 161 of the Big Book of Toy Cars. Zip code (close to me). We have letters and numbers, and it only takes zips.
It will be packed up well. You just pay for the stamp. This is looking for a new home, not a World tour. I will work with you. I want everyone to be happy.
