My friend collects old Tonka Toy Vehicles. In 1965, Tonka make a police jeep #325 with a black & white striped hardtop roof. In 1962, they made a #350 Pink& White Surrey Jeep. There is also a green roof from the Vintage 1965 Tonka Jeep Surry Outdoor Living Series Set #2140. This model took me a while to get all the details correct.
The Tonka is based on the Willys Surrey Gala Jeep 1959-1964. Elvis Presley had a 1960 Jeep CJ-5 Surrey. It was used in the movie “My Blue Hawaii”.

I sprayed several coats of clear Acrylic paint on the model to get it to look more like the original.
