I am not really sure what this car does or when it is from. I think the 1940's or 1950's. It seems like it is supposed to have an engine and drive around or something. It is about 10 1/2 inches across. Anyways it seems pretty cool and I thought I would share with the Collectors Weekly family for some of you to enjoy as well.
Once again thanks for looking. Have a great day and upcoming weekend everyone. We will meet again.... : )

Hello Amber. Thanks for the love. Always wishing you and your family nothing but the best my friend! : )
This looks to be the bomb, I saw one recently from the 1950's on the show Storage Wars, it was appraised for 7000. They raced in circles on a tether, in speeds up to 200 miles an hour or so. Quite a nice find !~ Phil.
I hate to look at them too much or else I will have to start to collect them. Here is another link that looks way, way, too interesting !!~
