YONEZAWA Tin Friction 1958 Ford Police Car 12.25 Very Good Condition
YONEZAWA Tin Friction 1958 Ford Police Car 12.25 Very Good Condition. Offered here is a very large and rather hard to find 12.25 long tin friction powered 1958 Ford Fairlane 2 door hard top made by Yonezawa (Yone or Y) of Japan in the 1950s.

Finished as a Police and Highway Patrol pursuit vehicle, the toy is clean as new and in very good original condition with all parts intact. The car has a strong friction motor with loud growler siren sound as well. I think this is one of the best looking tin squad cars made. You don't see very many toy'58 Fords, and the styling on this on is right on. The black and white paint still has a high luster showing only one small ding in the left front fender as well as a few light scuffs and scrapes otherwise.

Front grill, side spears and rear tail light surround exhibit some tarnish but all very typical for this car. Window trim, siren and rear bumper all shine like chrome with no tarnish or oxidation at all. Fragile fender mounted tin siren is still intact as is emergency "gumball" light on roof. Plastic window "glass" is crystal clear, void of any cracks, breaks or shrinkage and still held firmly in place.

Colorful tin litho interior is a delight to see, and included is a separate large metal steering wheel. Glossy black base shows minor wear and a bit of spider web effect.

All tin connecting tabs are in place and it doesn't appear the car has ever been apart or disturbed in any way. Friction motor runs long, strong and smooth with loud siren sound. Attractive tri tone tin hubcaps and whitewalls look fantastic and all are pristine. Check out my other auctions for more great old tin toy cars, trucks and motorcycles!
