Vintage Kodak yellow miniature car, old retro model, collector's item

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old miniature car with a retro look, shown here in a top view. The body features a bright yellow finish typical of advertising models, decorated with a red and white "Kodak" sticker affixed to the front hood. The yellow paint shows numerous signs of wear, with areas where the underlying metal is exposed, giving the object an authentic patina and a pronounced vintage charm. The roof, hood, and fenders show chips and paint loss, testifying to its age and previous handling.

The visible glazing is translucent red, covering the front and roof of the miniature. The interior, also red, is visible through the glazed parts. The general shape evokes a compact sedan in the 1970s style, with angular lines and a low silhouette. The molding details on the hood, roof, and grille are still perceptible despite the paint wear.

The "Kodak" logo on the front is clearly legible, indicating a promotional or advertising edition. No other markings, manufacturer's brand, or reference are visible on this photographed side. The wheels and side parts are not observable in the provided image.

The surface has a metallic appearance with a painted finish, although it is not possible to determine the exact material in the absence of mention in the keywords. The general style, wear, and advertising graphic suggest an object produced in the second half of the 20th century, probably between the 1960s and 1980s, without being able to specify further without other clues.
