This unique selection of the most rare and collectible toy cars made in Japan and Hong Kong in the 1950s and 1960s, includes large-scale tinplate cars made for the American market; the early Japanese diecasts by Model Pet, Micro Pet and Cherryca Phenix; and plastic friction-drive cars made in Hong Kong. Many fascinating new insights into the history of the companies are presented, using long-forgotten trade journals, rare catalogs, and interviews with people who worked in the toy business at that time.
