Dinky 173 Pontiac Parisienne. Very near mint/boxed with packing cellophane strip. Cast wheel issue. From The QDT Vault.
Notes
A deep lustrous metallic maroon finish on this model issued between 1969-72. Detailed yellow interior, window glazing, two retractable aerials and suspension on detailed cast wheels.
Buttons on base to operate the aerials. However, we do not recommend raising and retracting the aerials, since due to the age of the model, we find that sometimes they break/or lose their chrome coating).
Some dulling to the chrome parts.
The pictorial card box is fresh, clean and bright. Crisp. Very small tear to the tuck-in part of one large end flap.
