Description
Tonka introduced their first military vehicle in 1963 with the Universal Jeep having come to an agreement with Willys to produce the Jeep in 1962. In Tonka’s mind, a toy that could be sold for less than $3 was a winner.
Interestingly…this toy was introduced the year before the Gulf of Tonkin…and the rest as they say, is history. But sales were good enough that Tonka continued to offer military vehicles for many years thereafter.
The number imprinted on the hood is reputed to have been Tonka’s phone number at the time.
This toy is in excellent condition with the original spare tire.
11″L x 5″W
Please note that my photos are up close and detailed. I attempt to provide an accurate representation of the toy as it truly is. If you would like a particular photo of any aspect, do not hesitate to ask.
