A beautiful slice of retro 1970s Japanese toy manufacturing nostalgia. This authentic vintage Saito Seisakusho (S2 Trademark) "New Dream Car" features a vibrant red tin-lithograph sports coupe body decorated with yellow racing stripes, a geometric wing motif, pop-up headlight casings, and bold "FALCON" side graphics. The chassis is built with a black polymer base plate and a distinctive transparent pink louvered canopy roof. When pushed, the internal friction gear drive runs smoothly, causing the colorful internal mechanical kaleidoscope wheel to spin beautifully. A fantastic display item for any classic tinplate or vintage space-age automotive collector.
