Item Description
3.5x8x5" tall tin litho toy w/built-in key. Marx. ©1930 Correll & Gosden. Original parts include horseshoe hood ornament, headlights, taxi flag on windshield frame, crank and separate tin litho figures of Amos, Andy and their dog. Plastic windshield insert and strap holding Andy are professional replacements. Car's body has related text including "Fresh Air Taxi Cab Co. Of America, Inc." name plus "Check And Double Check," etc. Car has simulated wear and tear such as dents and dings, patched tires as well as mud splashed on fenders and running boards. Toy was designed to travel forward before coming to a stop, then shake, causing the figures of Amos and Andy to bounce up and down before resuming forward motion. Works well. Toy shows scattered lt. wear w/some edge wear and a few tiny scratches/nicks, but remains bright, glossy and Fine/VF. Classic wind-up toy.
