Wooden car

This is a wooden Lego car from 1939. According to a message in the archives, Godtfred Kirk Christiansen, son of the company's founder, "wanted to become an apprentice car mechanic. But his father asked him to stay with the family firm. During a period of study at Haslev Technical School in 1939, Godtfred designed several new cars for the firm."
