Kovap-Tatra Czeck Made Windup Toy Cars
Czech Made Windup Design Classics: Tin Toys Kovap makes incredible tin toys – the quality and design are best compared only to collectible antiques. Here are two of their models, both replicas of a Czech automobile called the Tatra. An icon of modernist design, the Tatra T87 was the first streamlined car ever produced (1937). Its successor, the Tatra 603, was a favorite of party officials during the post war communist years. These adorable windup tin versions of the Tatras are made of printed heavy gauge tin with solid clockwork movement and a bump bar that prevents them from falling off a table’s edge. Each Tatra is 4” L x 2” W x 2” H and packaged in a box with original retro graphics. Wind up the Tatra with the key, set it down and it rumbles around delightfully with a sweet, distinct buzzing sound!
