In Japan in 1956, if you were in a joint and drank a can of beer, they didn't want you to crush or bend the can, because it was worth more money whole. Later on I remember seeing a toy car made of metal much like yours is made. Under neath where it wasn't readily noticeable there were the remains of the beer can label. Look underneath yours and see if you can find the remains of a label.

Gotta love the "engrish" on the car (Do not disturb/ Oh, you kid/ beware of broken front).
Happy to report that old fashioned "engrish" is still alive and well today.
