Name/Title
Bing Windup Ford PhaetonEntry/Object ID
E2021.1.77Description
A Ford Phaeton, manufactured by Bing Co. in Germany. The car is a windup, but the mechanisms are to rusted to work properly (it only turns backwards). The Bing Co. logo is located in three places: the front license plate, the rear license plate, and underneath the car. The car is made of lithographed steel sheets that have been stamped out and assembled using tabs and slots. The part holding the front left tire has snapped, so the tire dangles down on one side.Made/Created
