I found this car in a flea market.
This is friction car made of metal.
Apparently, it has a lot of use, because the wheels are worn.
The steering wheel is in the right side.
There is not signal of the manufacturer.
Any additional information would be appreciated, and thanks for looking.

Thanks again!!!
I received mine as a gift in the late 60's. I played with it until it quit working, then I tried to fix it.
Here is a link to one on ebay with some more info;

I am surprised!! It is a really nice car, I think mine's value is much lesser that the ebay one. But, we just paid 5 bucks for it....
I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it.
Thanks PhilDavidAlexanderMorris....
