It's A Small World After All: Marx #6652 Guid-A-Traffic Set (1952) Pt 3 - Wind-up 1952 Buick Sedan

This terrific 1952 Buick Sedan is included in the Guid-A-Traffic set. How do I know it's a Buick from 1952? The catalog says so (albeit in fine letters). The car has a wind-up motor mechanism which powers the rear wheels. It sits raised-up on a rotating third wheel (just behind the front wheels) which allows it to negotiate the wire track and plastic intersection and switches. The car itself is oversized for HO and is more appropriate in an O-scale train layout setting. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

It's hard to read but it is the Marx logo.
