BANDAI 4447 CADILLAC UNIQUE BUMP'N GO, FUNCTIONAL WIPERS WithORIGINAL BOX! WORKING

  

THIS MODEL IS THEIR MODEL NUMBER: 4447 AND AS MENTIONED ABOVE AND ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE BUMP AND GO SYSTEMS I HAVE EVER SEEN! = V ERY L IGHTLY U SED I N.

HONESTLY, THIS IS A S CLOSE TO NOS (NEW OLD STOCK) AS POSSIBLE! I HAVE HAD THIS STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS ALL OF WHICH I HAVE PERSONALLY OWNED FOR UP TO 4 DECADES! HAVING HUNDREDS TO THOUSANDS OF MODEL CARS TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON E-BAY. 95% OF THESE ARE ONE-OF-A-KIND LISTINGS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHOW YOU AN ARRAY OF PICTURES AND DESCRIBE THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THIS RARE TIN BANDAI IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE!

THE DEAL WITH THIS MODEL (AND OF A FEW OTHERS THAT I HAVE LISTED) WAS THAT THIS WAS TO STAY IN MY PARENT'S HOME AND WAS ONLY USED UNDER MY DAD'S SUPERVISION! AS CHILDREN, WE ALL WONDERED WHY HE WAS SO STRICT WITH THESE RULES..... DECADES LATER, WE ALL UNDERSTAND WHY! THIS CADILLAC SEDAN IS A FULLY TIN CAR AND IS IN SHOWCASE CONDITION AND AS SUCH YOU WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO EASILY SEE ANY SCRATCHES OR DEFECTS, A FEW SMALL IMPERFECTIONS MIGHT BE PRESENT, BUT I CAN LOCATE NONE AT THIS TIME.

AS YOU CAN SEE FROM MY PICTURES, ALL OF THE ORIGINAL PACKAGING IS STILL WITH THIS MODEL AND HAS SERVED ITS PURPOSE VERY ADMIRABLY! EV EN THE ORIGINAL INSERT IS HERE AND STILL INTACT! ALTHOUGH SOME SIGNS OF USAGE IS APPARENT WITH THE BOX, IT HAS AGED VERY WELL! ALL OF THE ORIGINAL END AND FLAPS ARE STILL FIRMLY ATTACHED AS IS THE ORIGINAL CLEAR WINDOW. THE CAR ITSELF HAS A BRIGHT AND SHINY ORIGINAL GOLD PAINT JOB. ANOTHER VERY UNIQUE FEATURE IS THE VINYL LOOKING ROOF! THIS ROOF IS PAINTED ON WITH A NICE TEXTURED FINISH AND IS PRISTINE. THE FINISH ON THE BODY IS IN SHOWCASE CONDITION AND SHOW NO WEAR THAT IS VISIBLE TO THE EYE. ALL OF THE CHROME IS AS CLOSE TO NOS (NEW OLD STOCK) AS ONE COULD ASK FOR!

THE WINDSHIELD TRIM LOOKS AND IS VERY CLEAN WITH NO RUST OR TARNISH. THE CHROME HEADLIGHTS ARE PERFECT AS ARE THE FOUR WIRED WHEELS.

THE FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS LOOK BRAND NEW!! BOTH OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS ARE ORIGINALLY ATTACHED AND STILL PERFECTLY CHROMED! THE TIRES ARE VERY CLEAN AND HAVE NO FLAT SPOTS, CRACKS OR DRY ROT. THESE WHEELS ARE 100% ORIGINAL AS WELL. THE CHASSIS LOOKS LIKE IT IS IN UNUSED CONDITION AND SHOWS NO SCRATCHES, RUST OR WEAR. IN FACT, NO RUST APPEARS ANYWHERE ON THIS CADILLAC AND IT IS A 100% TIN BODY AND CHASSIS BANDAI MODEL CAR. THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT LOOKS LIKE IT ROLLED OFF THE PRODUCTION LINE LAST WEEK! THE BATTERY DOOR IS MADE OF PLASTIC AND IS STILL WELL ATTACHED BY ITS TWO HINGES. THE PLASTIC LOCKING TAB IS PERFECT AND WORKS AS IT SHOULD.

THE CAR HAS AN ON/OFF SWITCH LOCATED ON THE BOTTOM. TO START THIS UP YOU SIMPLY PLACE IN TWO SIZE "D" BATTERIES (AS INDICATED) AND THEN LOCK THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT. YOU THEN SWITCH IT ON AND PLACE IT DOWN ON A HARD SURFACE. IT WILL TAKE RIGHT OFF AND WHEN IT STRIKES AN OBSTACLE, IT WILL REVERSE DIRECTION AND HEAD TO ANOTHER DIRECTION.

THIS BUMP AND GO IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM ALL OF THE OTHERS AS YOU HAVE NO SPINNING ROUND DISC LOCATED BETWEEN TO TWO FRONT TIRES. THIS IS WHAT WE ALL HAVE COME ACCUSTOMED TO SEEING WITH ALL OTHER BUMP'N GO DRIVES. DUE TO THIS UNIQUE BUMP AND GO DRIVE, ALL FOUR (4) OF THE WHEELS TOUCH THE GROUND AND WORK. ON THIS MODEL YOU ALSO CAN CONTROL THE STEERING SOMEWHAT. YOU HAVE THREE (3) POSITIONS THAT YOU CAN DIRECT THE CAR TO GO. THE STRAIGHT DRIVE IS SUGGESTED FOR TRUE BUMP AND GO AS WHEN THE CAR REVERSES, IT WILL STEER BACKWARDS AND TURN IN ONE OF THE DIRECTIONS. IF YOU FIX THE STEERING TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT, WHEN IT BUMPS INTO AN OBJECT, IT WILL SIMPLY REVERSE ITS COURSE AND BACK TRACK. THIS MODEL ALSO HAS WORKING WINDSHIELD WIPERS!

WHEN THE MODEL IS TURNED ON THESE AUTOMATICALLY WORK AS REAL WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO! IN ADDITION TO THIS, YOU ALSO HAVE THE REAL MOTOR SOUND TOO! THE INTERIOR IS 100% TIN AND IS IN SHOWCASE CONDITION/SHAPE! THE STEERING WHEEL IS ORIGINAL.

THE ORIGINAL BOX IS ONCE AGAIN FULLY HERE. SOME SLIGHT DIS COLORATION DOES APPEAR ON A FEW LO CATION S AND IS MOSTLY ON THE TOP AND FRONT OF THE PACKAGING. A SMALL T EAR IS ALSO PRESENT ON ONE OF THE END FLAPS (WITH THE GREEN STRIPE). NO TAPE IS LOCATED ANYWHERE ON THE BOX.

AFTER ALL JUST HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO TEST A MODEL? ALL ONE NEED DO IS TO TOSS IN A FEW BATTERIES AND GIVE IT A GO!

THIS TIN BANDAI CADILLAC MODEL IS FULLY TESTED (AND WORKS PERFECTLY) AND WILL BE FULLY TESTED ONCE MORE, JUST PRIOR TO SENDING IT OFF. I DO THIS TWICE, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FIRST TESTING WAS NOT A FLUKE!

I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE E-BAY WORLD. I DO HAVE OPTIONS AND I CHOOSE TO OFFER ONLY THE VERY FINEST THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE. AS I MENTIONED ABOVE, I TEST EVERYTHING PRIOR TO LISTING IT AND ONCE AGAIN PRIOR TO SENDING THEM OFF.

I DO THIS SO WE WILL BOTH BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT, IT'S THE ONLY WAY I DO THINGS! THIS VINTAGE, BATTERY OPERATED BANDAI CADILLAC SEDAN WITH ITS UNIQUE BUMP AND GO ACTION AND WORKING WINDSHIELD WIPERS, IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF A MODEL AND A TIME THAT HAVE PASSED US BY. I SPECIALIZE IN PRIMARILY THE AUTOMOTIVE FIELD AND I CONCENTRATE WITH/ON PORSCHE, BENTLEY, AUDI AND. I HAVE A UPS ACCOUNT AND MOST OF MY OFFERINGS HERE SHALL BE SENT THAT WAY.

I PACK EACH AND EVERY ITEM MYSELF AND DO SO AS IF I WERE RECEIVING IT. WILL BE SENT VIA UPS AND WILL BE FULLY INSURED. UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD SOME RUN-IN'S WITH SOME SCRUPULOUS FOLKS WHO BY THEIR VERY NATURE "DO NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS". SO PLEASE DO NOT FAULT ME WHEN IT'S TIME TO LEAVE YOUR FEEDBACK AS I HAVE NO MORE CONTROL OVER THIS THEN YOU DO!

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, PLEASE READ THE VERY BOTTOM OF THIS SECTION AS THIS DOES APPLY TO YOU.... AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THIS IS A NEW AREA FOR ME (HERE ON E-BAY) AND I DO TRY MY BEST TO DO AS GOOD AS I CAN.

THIS HAS BECOME A FULL TIME BUSINESS FOR ME AND I REALLY ENJOY DOING IT. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO TILL IT BECOMES A BURDEN AND I CAN NO LONGER ENJOY IT.

I WILL BE ADDING TO THIS STORE WEEKLY (OR TRYING TO) AND HOPEFULLY YOU WILL SEE THAT I DO EXACTLY WHAT I SAY AND DO SO IN A VERY TIMELY FASHION. I HAVE TWO (2) OF THESE IN IDENTICAL CONDITION/SHAPE! IT IS MY INTENTION TO LIST ONE OR TWO DIFFERENT MODELS EACH AND EVERY DAY (IF AT ALL POSSIBLE), OR UNTIL SUCH A TIME WHEN I GET BURNT OUT FROM DOING SO. IT MIGHT BEHOOVE YOU TO CHECK IN WITH ME OFTEN AS YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHEN AND IF I WILL OFFER THAT SPECIAL SOMETHING THAT WILL ROUND OUT OR COMPLETE YOUR COLLECTION! THIS IS WHERE I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN READING ALL OF THE ABOVE.

IN ORDER TO VIEW MY LISTINGS IN A CONCISE AND ORDERLY FASHION, ALL YOU NEED DO IS TO LOCATE THAT SMALL. DOOR A TOP THIS PAGE. THIS IS LOCATED JUST BELOW MY SELLERS ID AND FEEDBACK TALLY. THE VIRTUAL DOOR TO MY STORE HERE ON E-BAY!
