Toy depicts Charlie as the driver and his name appears on grille and trunk. Toy works and travels around in an erratic fashion as his head turns and car rears up every so often. Toy has scattered trace of tiny paint nicks/scratches but remains totally bright and glossy. Still a Fine to VF example of this classic wind-up.
