2025.11.41Description
A small molded plastic (soft/flexible) toy automobile in red, of streamlined cabriolet/roadster form with bulbous rounded fenders front and rear and a low open two-seat cockpit. Molded detailing includes louvered vents on the hood and rear deck and curved faux side-vents on the front quarters. The cockpit holds two simple peg-style figures — cream/ivory bodies with round yellow ball heads — on ribbed seat backs, with a small blue steering wheel at the dashboard before one seat. The body is hollow with a seamed underside; the rear/underside seam has split, leaving a torn strand of the red plastic protruding.Acquisition
