Neat find in good shape, the years could vary widely. You might look around on fleabay for a similar one that may have more info.

It looks like a Manoil toy. Are you sure there's no name on the bottom? Can you post a better pic of the top and bottom?

I dug up the same car a while back, but as there are no markings on it, I was unable to get a positive ID...[IMG][/IMG]

I haven't collected old toys in years but my first gut instinct was Manoil. There were Car carrier toys made that would carry a few cars and it could have come from one of those also. I was trying to think a little harder to see if I could remember more but then I saw smoke coming from my ears and got dizzy. No more thinking for me!!!

Very cool! Too bad it's missing a wheel, but nonetheless, cool find!
