D174
Dinky 174 Ford Mercury Cougar. Near mint plus/boxed. Metallic blue. From The Worcestershire Collection, largely comprising fine, classic sports and racing cars.
Notes
A bright metallic blue finish on this classic American car issued between 1969-72.
Opening doors, detailed deep orange-yellow interior with tipping seats, number plates at front and rear – and don’t forget the retractable aerial (notably intact), and operated by means of a lever on the silver baseplate (advise to leave well alone however, since it is by raising and lowering it that the chrome finish rubs off and often the aerial can snap off too). Gold-coloured cast wheels.
Small scuff to the silver paint finish low down beneath the passenger door and a mere dot or two besides.
The pictorial card box is bright and clean. Some surface rubbing and a tear to the tuck-in part of one end flap. Period shop label at an end flap. Light wear besides.
