This instalment has to do with 3 almost-identical Marx Coupes from the 1930's. Many sellers on E-Bay don't seem to know their product (antique toys), so they identify this and other toys as "Marx ++++ Wyandotte+++++. I guess this protects them from potential complaints from buyers.
The coupes were made in the 1930's-early 40's and are made from pressed steel, or is it die-cast. I'll figure that out soon! They're almost the same but for the following different characteristics:
1. The least expensive one was made from thin steel, has no gas cap, and no front steel decor/headlights
2. The middle-priced coupe has thicker-gauge steel and has the gas cap and decorative front steel decor/headlights
3. The most-expensive car has all of the features of the middle-priced car, but has a wind-up mechanism.
1. The least Expensive Coupe - Missing Front Grill
1. Below - Another Least-Expensive Coupe with the Front Grill
2. Below - A Composite of the medium -priced coupe
3. Below - The Most Expensive Coupe

Thanks for the information.I have 3 of these that seem to be the most expensive with the hole for the key wind up mechanism.
