Notes
A very sought-after export issue in cream; (usual version is in metallic blue). This version was issued just for one year only – 1966, and so is hard to find, particularly in this condition. The Oldsmobile car is very near mint with a little mark to the rear bumper and a dot or tow besides. Note the stray dots of factory silver near the front bumper on one side. Important to note that this is an authentic issue without the casting lines surrounding the bonnet label (as in the blue version), and has the monochrome plinth platform (where the car sits).
The bonnet label is so bright and fresh!
It comes with the original Waverley ring, the correct two card packing rings and wrap-around card piece!
The inner card stand is clean and bright, with just a little minor ruffling where the ring sits. No tear at wheel slots. Very nice!
The outer box is extremely crisp and fresh, with strong colours. Only the most minor wear, including a couple of little stain spots.
