The grand marshal of the Japanese tin toy parade was a rare and coveted Yonezawa Atom Jet 58 Racer. Friction-powered and all original, including its tailfin, tires and hubcaps, the impressive 27-inch-long showstopper was offered complete with its original paper-label box.
“On top of being very rare and one of the largest Japanese cars ever produced, It appeared never to have been played, so that was the perfect trifecta. Bidders didn’t hold back,” King said. Against an estimate of $30,000-$40,000, it sold for $47,970.
