Ichiko Japan Tin Friction 1956 Lincoln Premiere AMAZING Mint in Box

Description

This is an amazing vintage tin friction toy that would be near impossible to upgrade.  The box is marked Yonezawa Ichiko And it is a 1956 Lincoln Premiere.  This is a rare hard to find toy that never turns up in this condition with a mint original box.  The car measure 17 inches in length and does not appear to have ever been played with.  This truly is a low mileage car.
The box has fantastic graphics with a perfect label and no split corners.  The original tissue paper and inserts are still in the box.  It is the heavier cardboard that looks to be corrugated.
The car is red and silver in color with a lot of chrome.  There are a few very light rubs on the top of the roof from spending its life inside of the box.  There are two or three micro scratches on the passenger side front that again are either from the box or the factory.  The chrome truly shines on this car.  The rear window is split at the top from the tabs, but still present.  I would lot personally do anything in the way of a repair.  The interior of the car has lot of color and detail.  This car is a ten out of ten and will be a top shelf piece in any collection.  Please feel free to ask questions and let me know if you would like additional photographs.
