Hi,
Here's a race car used in a pay track in an arcade. This car raced against 2 other cars (white & blue). There was another race track which used 5 cars. The car is 11 inches long! The base is made of wood, the body is metal and the seat is upholstered. The motor could be handmade and uses a worm gear drive. I was told everything on the car was handmade except the wheels & tires. It has brushes underneath which hinge for electrical current. I included a photo of the race car next to a 1934 Marklin railcar just to show the size. its nicely built & sturdy. The front steering is well engineered.
This French car must have been built only a couple of years after the UK Kennedy cars & their commercial pay track. The cars & track were made near Marsallies.
Thanks,
Bernard
