Chris many pre-war & post war diecast toys suffered from zinc rot. It still happens now and then on new electric trains.

Lloyd the only FM car I had problems with is the 56 Lincoln with bubbling in the paint and I've had several. Ertl also had problems with bubbling paint.

Thanks, Bob! I will need to replace this at some point, I suppose.
