This is a very rare Western Zone German coin bank musical box in the shape of an antique car jalopy. The red lever on the driver's side starts and stops the music. When the music is on the car moves and the balls on the radiator turn around. The Jalopy has been restored.  I  repaired the right headlamp and modified a key to work the bank lock. I manufactured a new left headlamp, horn, steering wheel,  and partial fenders.    There are some minor pre-existing nicks on the paint. It is in excellent working condition. 
If your speakers are on you should be able to hear it playing as you watch the video.  For the best sound results, listen to the recording on good quality desktop speakers.  Laptop speakers do not capture the true sound of the mp3 file.   Measurements in inches. Height = 6.625, Length (back fender to front hand crank = 9, width (at headlamps) = 4.625. Dimensions given at maximum points. The item(s) approximate weight is 1 pound 10 ounces.
