Very good vintage condition with its original Payá box and period $60.00 retailer price sticker. Because the wind-up mechanism has been tested, the car is being listed as used/pre-owned rather than new old stock. The car winds and drives under its own power.
Lithographed tin body retains strong, bright colors with light surface wear, small marks and age-related imperfections. Wheels and mechanical components show normal age/use wear.
Original Payá cardboard box is included and shows storage, edge and corner wear. Box retains a period U.S. retailer inventory/price sticker showing a $60.00 retail price.
Please examine all photographs closely for exact cosmetic condition.
