Add a touch of mid-century Americana to your collection with this charming Greyhound Express tin lithograph toy bus, made in Japan by Modern Toys (Masudaya) during the 1950s–1960s.
This collectible features vivid lithographed passengers, driver, and stewardess in the windows, along with the iconic running greyhound logo and slogan: “For pleasure… go Greyhound… and leave the driving to us.”
Crafted from lithographed tin with rolling wheels and a sleek retro design, it captures the optimism and style of postwar travel. The wind-up motor still makes sound but no longer propels the bus forward, which does not detract from its strong display appeal and visual charm.
