FD550
French Dinky 550 Chrysler 'Saratoga'. Very near mint/boxed. Deep pink and white. Scarce model from a most knowledgeable and enthusiastic collector in South London.
Notes
Issued between 1961 -65, this version has a distinctive, all original deep pink and white finish, bright red interior, shiny concave wheels (note that one has been factory fitted with the flat surface facing outward, whereas the shaped concave surface should be visible in this orientation). Clean white tyres (light flat spot to one). .
Exquisite!
Bright baseplate too.
Note that, as is always the case, the white strip has been applied only lightly to the flash at the sides and roof detail.
Little mark at the front bumper and at a wing tip. Occasional mere dot besides.
The large picture box is bright and crisp ( version with ‘conventional end flaps, so correct without serrated strip ). Plenty of end flap spring, Looks rarely handled. No tears. No graffiti.
Don’t miss it!
