Bandai Volkswagen Notchback
This is the car I wanted when I was building custom Volkswagens, but I never found one for sale. Volkswagen didn’t export the Notchback to north America so the real cars are much rarer than the toys.
This is a mid 1960s friction toy. It doesn’t say Bandai or have the “Sign Of Quality” logo on the bottom so it might have been made by another Japanese toy company. The bottom just says “Volkswagen 1500.”
The construction is similar, but just a little cruder than my Bandai Volkswagens. The front window on my beetles fits much better.
Whoever made this it is a neat little car, and a good reminder of my teenage Volkwagen driving years. The car is about seven inches long.
