Cool TCO-Santa car converted in happy birthday car

Hello everyone,
Back in 1996 I needed a special gift for my niece's birthday so I decided to build a paper car based on a very old Tipp-Co Santa car presented in 1928.
I had only one picture of a miniature magazine showing the side of the tin toy.

The original of '28 looks like this:

I came up with this model created with Autocad, manually colored with pencils and markers. Length of the model is 25cm (10").

Very good looking modification.
I have found that people really like it when you personalize a card model and present it to them as a gift.
