N170
Nicky/Dinky Toys 170 Lincoln Continental. Lemon with a black roof (only) version. Excellent/unboxed. Scarce. From The Eric Slager Collection.
Notes
Sought after models that are so difficult to find in good condition! Dinky dies were sold
to the Indian Firm S. Kumar & Co. trading as Atamco. (1968-70). Often known as Indian-Dinky toys, the finish was poor in comparison.
An original example finished in lemon with a black roof (only) with original silver details, off-white interior, steering wheel, and intact window glazing. Silver and black plastic one-piece tyres/wheels.
Marking to the roof and a couple of chips at bonnet opening rim. Shiny black base with obliterated letters save for ‘TOYS ’ and ’LINCOLN CONTINENTAL’.
