Vintage Rat Fink Americana muscle car art

Stands just under 17” tall. Found in an old garage estate sale I have no knowledge of how old it is or the artist/maker. Needs to be cleaned It is really dirty from age and may smell like car exhaust & cigars lol. Figure is made of hollow hard plastic. The piston is a real metal car piston with a solid wood base. Great piece for a Muscle car Enthusiast or collector.
