The item is on a Japanese site, but there isn't a word of Japanese on the box, it's all in English(and yet NOT Astro Boy!).

I'm not a fan of those old tin toys (which seem awfully expensive for something so easy to find online) but that one looks pristine.

It is a FORD! I just noticed that; would have thought it was a Japanese brand, or fictional, but FORD? :p

I didn't notice that! That is kind of weird. Was Ford involved with this toy or what?

Likely it was expected to be exported, and sent to the USA, given that:
