I can't find this specific model. It's extra decoration makes it look better than some models I've seen online. On Ebay there's a red taxi two people are selling with one person asking $38 and the other asking $140 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Tin-Friction-Red-Taxi-Toy-Car-Hadson-Japan-Vintage-Unusual-Coupe-6-25/362853654092?hash=item547bc35e4c:g:eSYAAOSw1wpdqLs9 so quite the price range for the same toy.
