FD555
French Dinky 555 Cabriolet Ford Thunderbird. Mint/boxed. Deep red issue, driver in dark suit. From the Italian collection.
Notes
An impressive French Dinky car in deep red with a pale blue interior, driver in a dark coloured suit (other versions exist), ivory coloured steering wheel, smooth white tyres on shiny concave wheels. Bright baseplate and clear windscreen.
The box is complete, if rather grubby now and has “speckled” print. Early issue in deep yellow which correctly does not have a serrated tear-off strip at an end flap (as does the later issue). A little handling wear/ruffling at end flaps. Penned price.
