This is the most common of the plastic fillable cars that Keystone made. It measures 4.5″ x 1.5″. The hood raises and the engine is a separate piece that can be removed. The car could be filled with “fuel” at the back of the car. This would fill a tank under the engine. When the tank needed to be emptied the pin that is in the engine compartment was pressed to open the valve at the bottom. You will see that the underside reads Keystone Made in USA. With the Keystone vehicles that I have seen the license plate will start with the letter K.
From my private collection.
very interesting information about the keystone cars. could you tell me what the windows were made of. was it vellum? thanks
Hello,
I have yet to see any Keystone or Thomas cars that had windows. All of them just had the window cut outs.
