FD24XT
French Dinky 24XT Ford Vedette 'TAXI'. Very near mint/not individually boxed. From an extensive private collection in the U.K.
Notes
Issued between 1956-59, this Ford Vedette Taxi model has a really shining sleek black and cream finish with bright convex wheels. Well-shaped original tyres.
Looks carefully handled and stored. Closest scrutiny reveals a couple of mere dots touched-in with a well-matched cream paint on the roof (hard to notice), and a small thin casting mark.
This model would have been sold from a shopkeeper’s trade box.
