Dinky Toys 170 Ford Fordor Sedan
Ford Sedan by Dinky Toys, No. 170. Red and cream low line. Scarce. Very near mint/boxed. From The Ground Crew Collection.
Notes
An unusual Dinky model issued between 1958-59, so a little later than the high-line versions.
This classic Dinky car has a striking all original red and cream finish with a day-one lustre. Bright baseplate (minor ‘spidering’) and fine tread original tyres run well. Presents very well indeed.
It is obvious that this model has spent most of the past 50 or so years tucked away in its box.
Not even a suggestion of a roof rub! Occasional minor rub to the paint finish.
Complete card picture box has the correct colour spot. Note there is some handling wear with a glue repair & old tape staining to an internal end flap seam.
