Alps ‘Auto Doggie’ Mustang Convertible Battery Operated Tin Car

This is a wonderful Alps ‘Auto Doggie’ Mustang Convertible Battery Operated Tin Car, made in Japan. The toy is a ‘Bump N’ Go multi directional mover. Auto Doggie is in excellent working condition with the original driver and a replacement dog. (The other dog ran away . . .) When the toy is in play, the car moves about the room and the doggie barks and makes a jumping movement in the passenger seat.

It’s a large toy measuring 14″ long and 5″ wide. It is in excellent working condition and is always in a glass cabinet on display in my collection.

The “Mustang Convertible Battery Operated Tin Car” is a charming and unique toy that exemplifies the creativity and whimsy in toy design during the mid-20th century. Produced by Alps, a Japanese company renowned for its innovative and high-quality battery-operated tin toys, this particular model features a playful twist with an “Auto Doggie” driving a Mustang convertible, blending the appeal of classic cars with the novelty of an animal character.

The Mustang Convertible Battery Operated Tin Car is more than just a toy; it’s a delightful representation of the innovative and playful spirit of mid-20th-century toy design.
