Japanese Tin Toy
Edsels

Manufacturer: |
Nomura Toys, Tokyo 10½" Red body, yellow roof & white scallop. The interior is blue with black and white details. 1 Box Tri-tone 58 Roundup identical to other red Nomuras except for roof color, red E-D-S-E-L lettering sometimes seen in the in scallops of this variety and the most prominent feature, a transparent plastic sunroof that was sometimes tinted yellow. The box displays the Nomura and I-Y Metal Toys trademarks. |
Pictured below is a Nomura '56 Ford Country Sedan that uses the same roof and interior as the Edsel. The box displays two trademarks although it's impossible to tell from this image whether or not the one on the left is that of I-Y Metal Toys. I would make an educated guess that the sunroof components are the I-Y contribution to this effort. |
