Another big Japanese tin car by Ichiko. This beautifully styled 1961 Plymouth Belvedere 2 door hardtop measures approximately 12" long (30.5 cm) by 3.5 tall (8.9 cm) and 4.5" wide (11.4 cm). This hard to find car is an excellent all original pale blue/grey with red roof. The beautifully lithographed red and black-checkered interior is virtually flawless and adds rich contrast to the overall presentation.
The car is in excellent all original condition, although the red inserts in the side trim may have been added. The tin trim including bumpers, grill, side trim and taillights are very nice and still shiny.
The celluloid in the windows is original and nice and clear. The rubber wheels are nice and very show little wear. The lithographed hubcaps look great.
The friction works as it should and the car displays beautifully. I see no touchups on the car at all.
It would be a nice upgrade for many collectors. The item "1961 Plymouth Belvedere 2 Door Hardtop Japanese Tin Car by Ichiko NR" is in sale since Sunday, May 22, 2016.
