Amazing early automotive toy made by AC Gilbert (Better known for erector sets). It has a really cool full length spring motor that is wound from the front hand crank. It is around 10" long and has adjustable steering via notches on the sheet metal holding the front axle.

Sometimes I think I'm crazy for collecting all this stuff, but then I realize how much I enjoy it! It's always nice to be reminded that I'm not the only one who loves the hobby!
