Toyoda Model AA diecast by Tomica. This is the first mass production car Toyota ever made. It was built in 1936-1943, and powered by a detuned 2JZ 3,389cc Inline-6 Producing 65hp.

Approximately 1,400 Toyota AA automobiles were manufactured back in the day. But there's only one surviving example of this thing and it was found in Russia after missing for 28 years.

In 1947 it was replaced by a Toyopet SA. Or VW Beetle's Japanese cousin. Look at that!

Very detailed model, Tomica always is of good detail and quality.

Yeah.
But they always have a missing hood ornament. The Toyota AA, the 190E, the 450SEL, the Rolls Royce Phantom, all has no hood ornament.

That's a good detail that they should have. What scale is that one?

1/64

I know it's a bit too small for hood ornament, but...

Yeah. It would probably break off easily, an option to "Special Order" for a collector would be nice.
