I agree.

Clean it up a little better and see if you can find any words cast into the bottom side.

It could be a Hubley toy car also.1950's or 60's by the style with the tail fins.Super cool.It would be fun to see if you could find replacement wheels it would be a great display piece.

It looks to be roughly 1:24 scale (around 7ish in. give or take)...I'm not sure that Tootsie toy ever used that scale but I may be wrong. Also most TT's do not have the under chassis...

It was found in a muddy run off creek area by an old homesite. The brown is actually some kind of encrusted mineral deposits, took a lot of work to get to this stage. (I know ... it looks like simple dirt.) I could not see any typical stampings on the bottom.

That’s a real nice interesting find. Congrats

Closest one I found ... they said the largest ones were 6 inches.
Roof not cast with the body, and it has seats inside ?

I think the car might be a 1958 packard hawk minus the roof?

50s car.cars had the outrageous tailfins that signified the jet age.

That's a beautiful find, nice that it still has a couple of it's original tires too.
Looks to be made of pot metal or zinc, as opposed to cast or stamped iron.

I would tumble it with 1/2" polished stone to remove the corrosion, then find some replacement tires for it.

Here's a truck I found a few years ago that I tumbled to make displayable.
Great find,
Dave

Deftone's great link leads to this car that looks like a match, so far.

Don't remove the paint! They want them with as much OG paint as possible

Thank you Steve.
I realize mine is missing a few parts, like the front bumper and grill, but they just don't make toys like this anymore.

My suggestion for pa-dirt would be to go to a toy store and look for replacement tires on another toy to use in his restoration... but keep the old wheels for posterity.

Here's what a well played with version of my 1930's Wyandotte Toy Truck originally looked like... by the way, it's American-made too!

My point here is, with some creative TLC the car pa-dirt found can easily be made displayable again.

Thanks for the pic of the back! I still don't know what kind of car it is but I appreciate being able to see it.
