VERY RARE EXCLUSIVE tin friction Ford Fairline Sedan toy car by Marusan Kosuge. One of the finest and rarest cars created by Marusan in the chrome plated version. Measures approx 14 inches long.
This toy is so rare that I have not seen another before. Usually the chrome would rust but this one is in a very good condition.
Some light surface rust specks on the roof, bonnet and back of car. The sides are very shiny and free of rust apart from certain sections. The friction doesn't seem to work. This is definitely a museum piece! Please study the pictures to see just how lovely this car is.
I will declare the full value of this item. I have not take it apart to see the internal workings of it or attempted to fix or clean it, so I can not give any information about this. I have given my honest opinion about the item. Please have a look at my other items for more rare vintage toys.
