Chevy Bel Air & Antique Jalopy Models
« on: September 05, 2009, 09:37:24 pm »
I can't tell who made the Bel Air model. It says A-4 on the bottom of the plastic base. The old fashioned automobile says Trademark Modern Toys Japan on the back. It has a lever that propels the car and works for a rear wheel that isn't secured.

I meant to say I can't tell who made the model car, but thanks.

Duh! That was about stupid of me. I should have realized that is what you meant. Having said that I don't believe it affects the value not knowing. Many makers of Japanese toys, but doesn't give you a specific maker.

One of my sons has a collection of cars like you have on top.  They even produce them and sell them at Costco every Christmas....if yours is metal and attached to a plastic base by 2 screws then it is made within the past 10 years.  Value $20 - $30.


Could you please post a clearer pic of the info on the 2nd car?

Thanks!

Tim...thanks for the grins!  I probably would have said the same....glad someone things along the the same lines sometimes....makes me feel a little saner!  :)
