For sale is a classic piece of Americana: a vintage Tonka Car Carrier Trailer from the late 1950s.
This is the single-axle version finished in the iconic Seafoam / Turquoise Green paint.
Condition Details:
Body: Solid pressed steel construction. It shows a natural "played-with" patina with minor surface rust and paint chipping consistent with its age (see photos). No major dents or structural damage.
Wheels: Features the original wheels/axles. Both the front support (landing gear) and the main rear axle are present and intact.
Components: The hitch kingpin is in good shape and ready to hook up to a matching COE (Cab Over Engine) truck.
Note on Reflectors: Please note that while one red rear reflector is present, the right-side reflector is missing (the mounting hole is clear and ready for a replacement part).
Decals: The original Tonka stenciling is still visible on the sides, though aged.
This is a fantastic candidate for a full restoration or a perfect "donor" piece if you have a cab in search of its trailer.
