stexch Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Clockwise from top left: 1. Generic car with a late '70's Pontiac Trans Am logo on the hood, from a country where they have right hand drive and rear view mirrors forward on the fenders (Japan?); 2. Generic car, can't tell what the marking are on the top of the front fenders. The external trunk hinges are inconsistent with the style of the rest of the car, which wants to be 1950's; 3. Mid '50's Pontiac, due to chrome strips down the hood and trunk lid; 4. Auburn boat-tail speedster; 5. '53 or '54 Chevy; 6. Generic Indy-style open wheel racer, ca. '30's-'40's.

Dave Henderson Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 There was an invasion of lithographed tinplate toy cars from Japan after WWII and they often bore no identification of the maker. The yellow speedster was "Tootsietoy made in the United States of America". Clearly inspired by the Auburn with suicide doors, but out of proportion and having various incorrect details.

oily rag Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 (edited) Cars like the yellow on were used in some of the Godzilla movies . I don't think yours was abused by Godzilla but you never know. Edited February 16, 2019 by oily rag (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
