Bandai #563 Red Chevrolet Open Car Friction Tin Litho Model Car Toy Japan with Box

This next piece is a Chevrolet convertible tin litho friction car made by Bandai from Japan. This tin litho friction car is a bit dusty, but in otherwise excellent condition with no wear or scratches. The box is also in great condition. There is no rust on the vehicle and the bottom is very clean. This car appears to have never been played with and possibly a dead stock item. This car measures approximately 10 ” x 4 ¼” x 3 ¼”.

Bandai Co. Ltd. of Japan was founded in 1950. When Bandai merged with the video game developer and producer Namco, Bandai Co. Ltd. they officially became Namco Bandai Holdings, Inc.  Namco Bandai holds the main toy licenses in Japan to many popular properties including Gundam, Ultraman, Daikaiju, Super Sentai Series, Kamen Rider, and Mazinger. It easy to see that how  Bandai became the number one toy producer in Japan and the world’s third largest producer of toys. Early tin plate toys from Bandai such as the one we are offering are highly collectible and can often be hard to find in such great condition because of their fragility.
