Homemade Buick

Folk art toy car / carved & painted wood with aluminum & iron fittings / c. 1940s

The best vintage folk art toy car ever: A detailed Buick Roadmaster in miniature, c. early 1950s. Carved in wood, the iconic automobile has a sleek streamlined body, handmade aluminum bumpers, iron tacks for headlights, and a two-tone paint job. Rolls like a dream. The fellow who made this toy for his son or daughter was one great dad. This unique folk art toy not only has an evocative sculptural form but handsome wear from a lifetime of play.

Good antique condition with wear to paint, minor oxidization to metal, and an overall timeworn patina.
