The 4 rubber wheels are recessed so it glides barely above the road just like the real thing! This toy was made by Midgetoy, Rockford, ILL. The toy comes in a cellophane bag with a top tag stapled on. The top tag is bedecked with the Midgetoy elves, and says, Junior Size Flat Race Car, and is marked 10¢. It is dated ©1954.
