Collecting -- and collecting information 8B

I have a new virtual hobby -- gathering information about the Model A friction toy cars Bandai manufactured in the early 1960's. In part one, I gave some background. In parts two and three, I'm sharing what I've learned so far.

Part Two - Car Bodies
So far, I've only found examples of two different types of car bodies -- 4-door touring cars with convertible tops, and 2-door coupe convertibles. I would not be surprised to discover hard top versions of these styles.



1) 4-Door Touring Convertibles

A) Models with top down -- know body colors: cream, green, red, green No. 10
