Walt Disney Productions, Disneyland Taxi Service”, some issues so please see details below:
Out of a local estates and new to the market.
Car I believe is in very good shape, not mint, note that on some of the photo's the flash on the photo’s makes the colors look a little brighter than it actually is.
All four wheels are fine, friction mechanism does not work, but car moves freely
Graphics: graphics is nice and clean, some very minor nicks and rubs marks here and there but minor, unique looking graphics, small dent on the roof and a very small one right above the rear window, don’t see any rust.
Issues
: the taxi is missing the “Sky View” sign that fits on the roof, also it’s missing the large front and rear bumpers, the smaller bumpers are there.
Line Mar was founded in the 1950s as a manufacturing and import subsidiary of the successful American toy manufacturer Louis Marx & Co.
There is no box or instruction sheet.
Overall a very nice collectable piece, missing some pieces but what’s there I think is pretty nice. If not satisfied for any reason please contact me within 30 days for a full refund. Please include .75 for shipping, shipping to the lower 48 states only.
Thanks for looking and good luck.
