Vtg Antique AMT 1956 Lincoln Continental Mark II Electric Remote Control Toy Car

Description

You are purchasing a vintage hard to find AMT (Aluminum Model Toys, Inc) "Electric Remote Control Scale Model Automobile" of a light blue 1956 Lincoln Continental Mark II toy car.   I believe that this was made by AMT in the late 1950s.
Unfortunately it is not working.
The wired remote takes 2 D batteries (not included).  The battery terminals all look clean with no corrosion but when you install the batteries nothing happens.  The white thumb button has pressure and seems to be in working order.  I assume the actual motor inside the car must no longer work.  The car measures approximately 8" long x 3" wide x 2 1/2" high.  The metal front and rear bumper pieces are not flush with the plastic body top, see all photos.  You may be able to fix this by removing the bottom metal chassis.  I will leave that up to the buyer.  Also it appears that there had been a plastic hood ornament which is now broken off and missing, see photo 7.   There is some mild surfaces scratches throughout but mostly on the wired remote control.   Also included in is the original box.  The box has expected wear and yellowing with age.   There is 1 area of pencil writing on the top, see photo 12.  There are also a few tears on the box.
Please contact me prior to purchasing with any questions or if additional photos are needed.
