Boxed Buddy L Chrysler Town and Country Wood Car – New Old Stock *SOLD*

Boxed Buddy L Chrysler Town and Country wood car- New old Stock

It is our pleasure to offer a boxed Buddy L Town and Country convertible for sale.  This is considered near new old stock with its well worn box with lost pieces, but 95 % of the box none the less.

-Approximately 18 1/2 inches long –

If you didn’t know, Buddy L had to switch over to using wood during the war time.  It was a giant financial challenge for the company to survive, so these toys represent war time compromises and brand new tooling.

The toy is in super bright maroon with cream and set off with black white wall tires.  The internal spring can help flip the car from convertible to hard top.  Its bottom has almost no wear, if any other than the factory.  The trunk sticker is bright and complete.

Some white wall paint is flaking, as expected for the age.  The internal spring has an odd extra bend, but we didn’t change it.  -Likely the way it was made.  Then the trunk has extra holes from the lift hook.  Corrosion and aging to the metal throughout, especially on the dash and steering area.

Our survivor is a beauty and should be cherished.  These imperfections are honest age related issues that come from ab 80 year old toy.
