    Looks modern to me. No way they would sculpt that face in the 20-30's.

    I've seen those sold at stores like Kirkland's and Home Goods.

    Is it really wood? Or maybe resin instead?

    Thanks guys. I have no clue if it's resin or wood, to me it feels like wood. The tyres are rubber and the wheel spokes and attachments all metal.

    Beyond that, no clue.

    It's definitely New, and definitely made of resin, with a few metal bits. Made in China, and many others like this have been made and sold for about the past 15 years or more.

    I'm pretty sure they're referring to the type of car i.e. 30's style race car.

    Here's another, but expired ad (click and scroll). Notice that they're calling it resin.
