This colorful pair of vintage tin friction toy cars was produced by Jimmy Toys in Japan during the 1960s, a golden era of playful graphic design and mechanical ingenuity.
Each car features bold racing graphics, vibrant enamel colors, and a clear dome window showcasing illustrated drivers. The cars operate via friction motors and were designed for imaginative play, though today they are highly collectible as nostalgic display pieces.
These cars make a great addition to a vintage toy collection, mid-century decor display, or as a gift for a classic car or toy enthusiast.
Sold as a matching pair.
Length (each): 3.75–4 inches
Width (each): ~1.75 inches

Plastic domes

Good vintage condition with visible wear consistent with age and play.
