  • This is an item that I've needed to make for some time and finally have it ready for purchase. The Bandai Volkswagen Bus battery operated version has this delicate, rear opening door that is so often missing from these toys. I had a toy with a damaged original door that I was able to recreate in tin to look and function just as original. This new tin door comes as shown in white automotive primer for $95.00 USD and can be finish painted in either RED or CREAM IVORY as the two original toy color versions that were available for an additional $25.00. It also comes with the hinge pin for mounting the door to the vehicle. This is an absolute must have if your bus is missing its rear hatch door and it is available no where else!

  • This is a Bandai 1959 Cadillac tin friction car in excellent original condition.  The toy has very minor scuffing (possibly box rub) and is virtually un-played with. The tire treads are crisp and the friction is very strong. This toy has been in my personal collection for several years. This would be a beautiful addition to any tin toy car collectors fleet.
