Notes
Made by Dinky between 1963-68, this desirable and scarce set contains:
Chevrolet El Camino in an all original cream and turquoise finish. Red interior. Shiny shaped spun wheels with suspension. Sleek matte baseplate. In near mint condition with a couple of minor marks at some exposed edges.
2 x Trailers in red plastic with silver diecast bases, and integral tow bars. Very near mint condition. Opening rear door on the closed trailer as well as notably complete “ACME TRAILER HIRE” transfers on both sides. Minor rubbed area on both silver bases. MInor contact rub to tow bars (as you might expect).
The early lift-off lid pictorial card box is colourfully illustrated and includes the two pieces of original card packing inside the box. Minor wear only, including a little shelf grubbiness on the box base underside. No sunfading, tears or repairs.
An unusual and sought-after Dinky set.
