Kusan Mexican Auto-Loader Automobiles

The Auto-Loader automobiles were made in a variety of colors and styles by Plastimarx of Mexico. Louis Marx and Company held a controlling interest in Plastimarx from 1955 to 1972. Photos courtesy of the G. Clarke collection.

Kusan Auto-Loader automobiles in green, gray, yellow and red. They represent cars made in the 1950's. The green car is a Ford, the gray one a Cadillac and the red one is a Buick. Unsure what make/model the yellow auto represents. Opinions invited!

The unknown make yellow car has a backwards 9 under the roof, the red Buick has a backwards 5, the gray Cadillac a backwards 7, and the green Ford an 8. Similar Marx sedans produced in the U.S. have plastic axles and wheels with a number on the underside of the trunk.
