Distler
'Model D-3200,'
enamel painted pressed tin wind-up toy car,
is missing the original wind-up key (most likely any vintage similar gauge, wind-up toy key would work.)
Marked on the top
'Ger

and on the bottom
'Made in US Zone,
Ger
ma

It's also missing its front clear polymer windshield, wind-up key and all four black rubber tires that fit over the grooved white rubber tire bases. All else is present and intact and appears to be in working order. A very cool and now quite scarce
post-WWII
pressed tin enamel painted wind-up toy car.
In scarce yellow enamel paint and with only slight episodes of oxidation, largely limited to the front bumper and undercarriage.
72 to 76 years old
and counting. Nice, glossy, yellow enamel paint. The clear polymer front windshield got separated from the car most likely long ago. A more heavily damaged, 'parts'
Distler Model D-3200,
which has its original clear polymer windshield, all four black rubber tires and a wind-up key, could be used to make this otherwise terrific and beautiful yellow enamel
Distler
D-3200,
whole and complete, once again. Used but never abused. Terrific.
CONDITION:
Good to Very Good overall vintage condition.
(*Needs previously mentioned parts.)
