You are bidding on a Marx Toys collectible vintage "Day & Nite" Service Gas station. It includes 4 workers, three cars (actually 2 cars and a truck) and various plastic gas station accessories, including an outdoor hoist that raises (hinges) up a couple of inches, and a ramp that goes from the roof-level to the lower level for the cars to drive down (or up). The set is in typical played-with condition, with some scratching, and is missing the signs that go in the two front corners of the base, but as you can see it is very displayable and is a great item to display with your toys and/or gas station memorabilia to bring back those memories! The set also includes the original instruction sheet. Sorry, but I don't have the original box. What you see is what you get!

I've added a couple of more pictures because I've noticed the back ramp (there are actually two ramps from the upper level to the lower level, not just one as i first thought) has a couple of bends towards the top of it and I wanted to show that accurately in the pics. There are also two spots on the roof where there is a little rust on the tin, which you can also see in the pic. The last picture shows a very small rust spot on the base just in front of the stall. Also when packing this up, i discovered there are two small pieces of scotch transparent tape on the back of the instructions, but it is not old and yellowed and doesn't look bad at all. One last thing, the plastic vehicle hoist (shown on the left of the gas station) has one (of two total) broken clip that holds it to the base, but is firmly in place despite the broken clip.
