Item Description
Large and impressive 26.75" long 1930s Streamline Coupe that was all handmade from heavy gauge automotive steel. Underside has hand-lettered text reading "#593X Glendale," indicating this was produced at the Glendale, WV. plant. Metal post w/attached painted wood handle w/original "Sample - Louis Marx & Co." string tag around it. Car has scattered paint wear in the form of small paint flakes/chips. Plated grille and headlight pieces have trace oxidation. Fine overall. One-of-a-kind, never produced and likely the only example to exist as Marx did not make any car riding toys like this.
