Here's another old toy I had at my parents house. My dad worked at a VW dealer during the 60's and 70's, and that's where this came from. I know little else about it. I plan on installing some batteries to see if it still works...![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Saw your other comment! Yes, the engine lights up and the car makes plenty of noise! It is a bump & go, but I don't recall if the driver moves. I have to buy some D batteries and give it a test run ASAP. If I ever had a box, it is looooooong gone. |

Not sure. Maybe around 1/18 give or take some. Here it is with the other toys I pulled out of the cabinet... beer can gives it a good scale comparison. 20170610_181413 by Michael Foertsch, on Flickr |
