In 1910, Hubert Kienberger founded HUKI, Kienberger & Co., Nürnberg, Germany. They mainly produced Penny Toys and animals on wheels. Before WWII, they used the brand name KiCo, which was later altered into HUKI. In 1943 the Company was destroyed by a fire and only in 1951 production was restarted. Huki seized to exist in the second half of the seventies. Huki always produced tintoys and did not change to plastic cars like many other manufacturers. This caused their downfall. They had developed new toymodels until the late sixties; in their last decade ( or less) they only produced from their old molds....

Very nice tinplate yellow lithograph body representing a top down Convertible Volkswagen. Details include side trim, front hood trim, front fender turn signals, taillights and headlights.

Tin front and rear bumpers attach to the body with bent over tabs. A plastic insert for the interior includes the seats, dashboard and steering wheel. A clear plastic windshield and black plastic folded top cover attaches to the body.  The tin chassis has a friction motor with rubber tires.
