Fantastic vintage LUPOR tin lithographed wind-up racing car, manufactured in the United States. This large streamlined racer features vivid yellow and red lithography, dramatic dragon graphics, detailed engine artwork, original-style tin driver, black wheels, and classic early racing-car styling. The wind-up mechanism engages and operates when wound. This model appears to incorporate a spark-effect mechanism; however, no sparks are currently being produced during testing, so the spark feature should be considered non-working and may require adjustment or repair.
The car remains a fantastic display piece with strong original graphics and tremendous vintage character. Shows normal age-related wear including scratches, scuffs, lithograph/paint loss, small marks and other signs of play and storage. Please examine all photographs carefully for exact condition. Wind-up mechanism works/engages as described, but the spark effect is not presently functioning. Because this is an antique mechanical toy, no guarantee is made regarding continued operation. Original vintage item - not a reproduction.
