Item Description
7.5" long tin litho by Marx, 1930s. Box features two different illustrations of the car driving down a road. Box is missing one inner flap on one end and also has replaced end flap closure tab. Rest of box has small stains and puncture marks here and there. These blend in somewhat and box still displays VG. Nicely detailed toy includes racoon coat-clad college student with pair of die-cut girls on trunk. This is the scarcer style of this toy. Toy also has separate tin litho suitcase and plastic windshield, both of which are usually missing. Toy works and travels around in erratic fashion as driver's head spins and every so often car rears up. Toy has scattered light wear from use, few spots of oxidation on rear wheels. Fine/VF.
