D57/005
Dinky 57/005 Ford Thunderbird. Very near mint/boxed. Rare. From a most knowledgeable and enthusiastic collector in South London.
Notes
One of the small range of Dinky models made in Hong Kong between 1965-67. Highly attractive 1:42 scale models, presented in distinctive pictorial boxes.
This Ford Thunderbird model is finished in vibrant mid-blue with a white roof and a bright red interior. Opening doors. Matt baseplate, and complete number plates front and rear. Suspension is fine on all four wheels.
Hard to find a mark – note the tiny casting mark on one side and a small dribble of original paint nearby.
The pictorial box is crisp and bright, and a typical tight fit. Little end crumple and very minor wear besides. No tears or graffiti.
