	Bought off Lancaster market today, tinplate, battery forward and reverse works, but missing one hubcap. The battery lid has a similar catch to Ichiko models but no other details known. Happy days, I've always wanted a Shoebox Ford but cannot afford one.

	My first thought was that it was something Russian but now I think it looks more like a 1954 Dodge, apart from the split windscreen.

	You're right. The swage line on the side was annoying me as a Ford is more slab sided, I couldn't pin it down. Split screen or no split screen, it was still worth £10.

	That's a beauty - Get some new tyres for it soon and post the pics Just noticed that the missing hubcap holds most of the tyre on - no rush!
