Vintage 1950s “Old Jalopy” Tin Lithograph Toy Car – Friction or Free-Roll Version

Mid-century tin lithographed toy car marked “Old Jalopy”, likely Japanese-made for export during the 1950s–early 1960s. Features bright red litho body, yellow interior, black tin canopy roof, and humorous period phrases like “Easy Does It” and “Tall Back.” This example appears to be a non–wind-up model, either friction-powered or free-rolling version — simpler and more affordable than mechanical types but identical in lithographic design.
