Notes
Issued between 1965-68, in various colour finishes, this attractive American car has the rarest colour finish i.e. kingfisher blue – displaying well with this most distinctive of colour finishes.
This particular colour finish seems to have been especially difficult for Corgi – and is nearly always flaky. This example has the occasional small mark to the paint finish and a chrome chip on the passenger-side sill. With a fine sheen, and an unfaded light blue interior. Both seated figures (although we have not been able to insert the driver figure into his driver’s seat due to the orientation of the steering wheel).
Grey base, spoked wheel detail and fine original treaded tyres.
We have not opened bonnet or boot since this action can easily flake off the paint. We assume that the little set of golf clubs are inside the boot.
The pictorial box is really crisp and fresh with no tears or graffiti. Period (large) label on one box face.
Small period price label at an end flap. Comes with the original card packing ring and Corgi Club Membership Form.
Rare to come to the market place.
