Condition
Good overall condition. The entire surface with some traces of wear, light scratches and minor chips to the lacquer, consistent with age and use. Two minor areas of likely original discoloration to paint at the center of the interior. Light surface dirt to the recessed areas. This vibrant yellow playful coupe is a great example of the artist's use of a new technique to combine function and pleasant design.
