While clearing out her antique store, my mother found and gave me a toy car.
It's a Schuco model 1050 grand prix racer. Apparently they're quite the
collector items. This one is marked as made in "U.S.-Zone Germany".
Here's the thing that amazed me: The rear end includes a real, working,
open differential. You can see a photo of a similar car, showing the
differential, here:

I suppose if they still made these toys, they'd come with LSDs. : )
