The visible side features an angular body, painted white with black details on the fenders and front bumper. Two uniformed police figurines in blue are integrated into the front, with smiling faces and caps bearing a \"Police\" insignia. The dashboard and steering wheels are detailed, with a realistic impression characteristic of Japanese tin toys of that era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe hood features a black and red emblem with the legible inscription \"Police Dept,\" reinforcing the vehicle's thematic character. The visible seats are beige\/brown, and the rear of the vehicle reveals a spare wheel as well as an accessory reproducing a radio or police equipment, with details painted in green, gray, and black. The wheels are rimmed in white, with a simple central pattern, typical of post-war Japanese production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tin finish shows a distinct patina: visible traces of rust on the hood, front bumper, and body edges, highlighting the object's authenticity and age.

No mechanism is visible in the photo, but the construction suggests friction or wind-up models common during that period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
