Marusan Ho Slot Cars, CARS

back to Marusan

Marusan body styles: I cannot read or translate Japanese so the actual names of some of these cars are guesses.
There are some drawings of cars inside the Marusan sets that lend clues to actual body styles produced. Identifying the sedans
can be particularly tricky!

Here is a partial list of cars named on set packaging:
--MGA 1600MK 2
--Karmann Ghia
--Mercedes 300 SL
--Porsche 356
--Rolls Phantom 5
--Volvo P1800
--Citroen
--Jaguar
--Ford Taunus
--Datsun Bluebird
--Toyopet Crown D
--Prince Gloria
--Isuzu Bellet 1600 GT
--Nissan Cedric Custom
--Datsun Fairlady

This is the VW Karmann Ghia...

Her are two examples of the MGA 1600MK 2, this is one of the 3 body styles used for the Ambulance..

Very nice Mercedes 300SL. This car is painted in a soft mettalic green.


The Tank. Intact stickers can be hard to find. Also note "American Star" on the front-not a sticker...

Note articulated gun barrel.

Police Car in original packaging should include the sponge dome light protector and the Policeman figure...

3 Versions of the AMBULANCE!

New Find 2009:

Volvo 544
