One of the most art deco die cast cars ever made it is so old Tootisietoys didn't even have a name yet. I think they started in 1926 but I do not recall exactly. This seems to be a fantasy piece and I think it was based on a dart zt least the rear. Originally it was painted red but it looks good in the base silver color. It is 6" long.
Yes the axles are unfortunate as they were replaced and are a bit too long. I will trim them as soon as I get some better snippers. In the meantime it will be in the curio case.
Looks like the 1934..pretty cool regardless of condition..
I agree - it is really cool, how fun.

Looks like an airstream trailer crossed with a VW Campervan crossed with a zeppelin
Thank you very much Dave. It may be 35/36 as Manoil did not produce until then.
