1934 / 1938 Victory Glass Co. CANDY CONTAINER CARS 34 Chrysler Airflow and 38 GM

Description

Victory Glass Co.  tin wheeled automobiles.
Four door is a 1934 Chrysler Airflow. The real Chrysler Airflow was available from 1934 through 1937 and would be actual to production years for Victory Glass selling the candy container car since it is exactly this model car. The four door tin wheeler is more available then this counterpart two door model which is 1938/39 GM sedan. Maybe Chevrolet or Oldsmobile. The four door Airflow would possibly be made into 1941 along with the two door when the four door ceases and the two door mould gets modified to a glass wheeler. The start of WWII forces tin to be conserved for the war effort. The E&A book calls the Auto-Zep an "Airflow" which created confusion about the four door being the true Chrysler Airflow model. The real "Auto-Zep" is a name given at least by Victory Glass Co. on their 1935ish sales brochure. Probably debut at Century of Progress Expo 1933/34 along with Walter Chrysler's Airflow car.
These two examples shown are each rolling on Mike Baldwin replica wheels/axles carefully made of vintage tin to restore these pieces. The closures are old tin but not thought to be factory pieces (lacking axles abrasions to interior of closures).  Green car has an original factory contents label upon roof which shows edge wear. They both are wearing factory paint with play wear. Green GM two door has annealing flaw across rear of roof and down through side window to fender arch. It is a crack, but it is stable. You cannot feel it with a fingernail and the fracture is inclusive of soot from the lehr (annealing oven). Aside from the annealing error there is no damage. The brown Airflow four door is chipped on running board aft of "B" pillar. It is chipped underside of front bumper on driver's side. It is chipped driver's side rear bumper corner. The brown car has silvered headlights which is found about 50% of time for this car.
Cars are as is.
