From my private collection, this Bandai Cadillac measures approximately 11.5" by a tad over 4" and is about 2.75" tall. It is a 1959 model Caddy and marked on the bottom w Bandai's trademark and CADILLAC.
I purchased this from a farm auction in GA nearly 30 years ago.
This is quite a RARE Vintage Tin Lithographed Friction 1959 CADILLAC Sedan Toy Car by Bandai, Japan.
Off-white body color with red detailed litho interior and blue tinted windows. Friction works pretty well.
As you can see from the photos (please use zoom feature!) there is some playwear throughout. Overall very good condition. Car measures 11-1/2" long.
This is a hard to find model! Just check out the fabulous rear fins on this baby...classic!!
You are buying this in AS IS condition. It has been well played with as the photos illustrate. There is minimal paint wear, but there are scratches here and there consistent of a 50+ yr old toy like this.
Please note, the original rear windshield is loose and slips out. Also one of the wheels is loose though I slipped it back on and it seems secure now.
I wiped it down with a soft cloth, but I will leave the thorough detailing to the lucky person who snatches this up.
Please view all photos and use the zoom feature, asking questions prior to buying this FINAL SALE toy.
