’58 Roundup. These were marketed by Cragstan as well as Nomura. Cragstan versions display Cragstan trademarks (in addition to Nomura trademarks) on box. The I-Y Metal Products trademark also appears on one of the side panels of the box. The Nomura trademark appears in cargo area. Bruce Dean's example has a plastic base for the hood ornament where the others are made of stamped tin. Several variations in wheel covers are known including a specific Edsel style on which the E resembles a number 3. Click here for another image.
