Technofix – Auto

Toy representing an automobile, the Auto ¹ , made by Technofix . This example is presumably reference GE-313, from the "City Traffic – Drive & Park" set (313). It is made in Germany (Western Germany), possibly in 1966. Metal body (pressed tinplate) lithographed in white, with black top and representation of various details. Metal (tinplate) base.

The overall length is approximately 3.1 in. About 1.6 oz. This toy represents an automobile in cartoon style, possibly based on a 1965 Opel Kadett B Coupé  During the 1970s, I had some curious toys – such as a small thermoelectric power plant (Märklin) and some scenic tracks made of pressed and lithographed sheet metal (tinplate), allowing the prodigious automatic movement of road and rail vehicles (Technofix). These scenic tr...
