Boxcraft Automobile made without hood.
A narrow box rim is glued between the wheel-guards to make the running-board.
Two metal buttons are fastened to the front of the automobile to form the lamps.
A toothpick is pressed into the front of the box to make the rod of the wheel for steering. The wheel itself is a round cardboard key-tag fitted upon the other end of the toothpick.
The front seat of the automobile is the end corner of some small box that is fitted crosswise into the body of the car and glued in place. The rear seat is an end of a small box fitted in the same manner into the body of the car behind.
Boxcraft automobiles are the best there are. They do not cost you a single penny! Repairs are always very easy to make, too.
If you care to add a hood to the automobile, it may be made from the cover of your large box. Cut the front rim of the box cover down, and slant the long sides of the cover down to the uncut end.
Paste an upright piece of cardboard about four inches high behind your rear seat. To its top, glue the higher end of the box cover.
Two small strips of cardboard may be fitted under the hood above the front seat to hold the hood up in front.
