Alps/Iwaya 1957 Chrysler New Yorker 4 Door– “Holy Grail” Japanese Tin Car

Length: 14" 356 mm

"There are tin cars and then there are those that just never come up for sale. Here we have the “holy grail” of tin car collecting & truly a unique opportunity for a well researched collector. It is an Alps/Iwaya Chrysler with ORIGINAL box, and in an unheard of color combination. This is an incredible light blue/teal that is nearly a match to the box art.

Note that the box art actually illustrates a 1958 Chrysler.

Looking inside the window you can see the painstaking attention to woven lithograph seat patterns and realistic details.

The bottom is new new old stock clean and as close to perfect as you can find. Looking at the top and sides of the car you can see factory uniquenesses and an unrestored near new old stock outside. Chrome is incredibly shiny. Windows show the slightest bit of amber, as expected with vintage plastic/celluloid.

This particular toy comes with premier collector provenance.
Price reflects color, originality, condition, and box."*
