About the Item

Collectible Matchbox Model A Ford Hot Rod, Lesney, Circa 1970 Relive the classic era of die-cast collectibles with this authentic vintage Matchbox Speed King Model A Ford car (Model No. K-73). Manufactured by Lesney in England and dating to approximately 1970, this model is a striking example from the Matchbox 1-75 Series, depicting a modified classic vehicle. The toy is a classic car cast in metal with an appealing Green paint finish. It represents a highly customized Model A Ford hot rod, popular in the 1970s toy culture, and is listed at an approximate 1:64 scale. Seller's Comments (Condition): The car is described as being in "good general condition" (En bon état général) for a played-with vintage toy. It exhibits authentic wear, including some loss of paint (manquent sur la peinture). Notably, there is a hole in the underside (Un trou dans le dessous), and the tires are slightly damaged (Les pneus sont un peu abîmés). It is sold "as is" and would make a great display piece for a collector who appreciates genuine vintage patina.

Vintage Free Wheeling Green Lithographed All Tin Racing Car. French, Circa 1930
Located in Incline Village, NV
Circa 1930's free wheeling green lithographed all tin racing car, with attached pressed steel driver; it is probably of French manufacturer (the only time I have seen for sale was from a French toy dealer). This scarce toy has markings resembling early racing cars with the streamlined style graphics in yellow and green; standard grill; exhaust four manifolds to each side, and a spare tire attached to the rear; looks like an early Le Mans type car with the spare (see images). Other markings include the number "3:" on each side; "510 x 1" on the rear tire"; and probably the makers mark and logo, which I can't identify, on the top right behind the driver (see images). Not being a wind-up or a friction toy, this racing car was pushed across the floor by hand or/and used as an accessory in a toy train layout...
