It's a Small World After All: Empire Small Auto - Red HP

First of, let me apologize ahead of time for the quality of some (many?) of the photos in this series. As hard as I try, sometimes my camera is just not up to the task of photographing small toys - or even big toys for that matter. It's okay when taking photos outdoors, but - being a point-&-shoot - it's not meant for model photography. It does have settings for macro photography but believe me, it's not all that great! Also, as the series progresses you may find me jumping from cars to trucks to buses to whatever. 

In trying to identify these tiny cars and trucks, my go-to source has been Kent Owen Sprecher's Toy Soldier HQ website, which of course, is not at all limited to toy soldiers but covers the gamut of all plastic toys. Sometimes I luck out and find what I'm looking for and other times, not so much. In this case, as there are no identifying markings on this car I instead try to look at the profile of the toy and believe it matches the one shown in Kent's website. These photos were taken back in 2016 and I can't find my notes but the car measures about 1.5" long. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
