Vintage Ichiko Japan Tin Touring Car Collector Display Piece 1950s

Vintage Ichiko (Japan) tin touring car dating to the 1950s-early 1960s, offered as an original collector display piece. Constructed of pressed tin/steel with classic open-touring proportions, this example retains its original paint and components with honest, age-appropriate wear consistent with mid-century Japanese tin toys. The car features an open touring configuration with a removable tin seat and removable rear trunk/box, rubber tires, and a weighted friction mechanism housed beneath the chassis. The underside is clearly stamped MADE IN JAPAN.

The friction mechanism is present but non-functioning, which is common for vintage tin toys of this era. This example is complete and unrestored, with no repainting or replacement parts observed. All details are consistent with authentic mid-century Ichiko production. Please review all photos carefully, as they are part of the description.
