Notes

Issued between 1965-68, in various colour finishes, this attractive American car has the rarest colour finish i.e. kingfisher blue – this is just about the nicest example we have seen in this distinctive shade, and upon first glance looks mint. This particular colour finish seems to have been especially difficult for Corgi – and is nearly always flaky. This example has a fine sheen and it is only upon close observation that little paint imperfections/misses/rubs become apparent. Pretty confident that this is as-made and not the result of playwear.
