Yonezawa "Y" Yone made in Japan vintage press steel tin working friction truck and mechanical lifting long trailer. Y1967 licence front plate and on back of trailer there is a Y in a lotus flower logo trade mark
In excellent condition and these photos show marker stain on the blue truck bed but came off really easy
Cannot find any info on this when it was made and what did this design represented
this is very very cool!!! :)welcome to cw!!
1960's Japanese artistic style . I have the 90 % the same trailer, no tailgate, just molded like the sides and mine is hydraulic. It is listed on CW and made by SSS Japan. My tractor portion is similar and is known as the Turnpike Series. They were Sears exclusives back in the day. I think it is cool that yours has the Yonezawa logo, and has the same overall style. Just goes to show that there was parts sourcing and sharing/copying etc going on in Japan in the 60's as well as North America. These colourful MIJ trucks make great displays.
