One car is primarily a turquoise blue with a black roof and black body trim lines. Another car is primarily green with a black roof and black trim. A third car is primarily red with a "fawn" roof and tan side trim. These cars all have black rubber tires on red steel rims. The radiator shells are finished with antique gold paint as are the inside reflecting surfaces of the headlights. A fourth Lincoln is all red but for the antique gold trim on the radiator and lights. The fourth car was issued with all steel wheels first painted red the finished with silver-grey paint over the "tire" portion, a common Turner practice.
The Lincolns issued with black rub
ber tires have "Turner Toys...Dayton O. USA" in relief on the rubber sidewalls. These rubber tires have a 4-1/2" outside diameter. The tire was made with tread that looks similar to a string of chain links. This Lincoln may have been offered as late as 1931. Rare to find, it is very desirable. 26-1/2" long. 8-1/2" wide. 10-1/2" tall. 12 pounds.
