Arcade No. 116 Cast Iron Ford Coupe, Freeport ILL, c.1930s
A charming and authentic Arcade No. 116 Ford Coupe, cast in iron and finished in vibrant blue, made in Freeport, Illinois circa 1930s. Measuring just under 5 inches long, this sturdy little coupe represents the peak of Arcade Manufacturing Co.’s craftsmanship—known for transforming everyday automobiles into miniature works of industrial art. The underside bears the “ARCADE / Freeport, ILL” stamp, confirming its origin, and it retains its original nickel-plated spoked wheels and steel axles.
Part of Arcade’s famous No. 116 series, this model captures the spirit of the early automobile age with remarkable fidelity—from the contoured fenders and paneled doors to the proud stance of its Ford-inspired design. Collectors prize these 116-series cars for their solid build, colorful finishes, and nostalgic link to America’s prewar toy industry.
