Dinky Toys 131 Cadillac Tourer
Cadillac Tourer by Dinky Toys, No. 131. Extremely scarce CREAM version. Very near mint/boxed. Late issue with treaded tyres and tinplate baseplate. In PLAIN box. From The esteemed Spa-Francorchamps Collection.
Notes
Finished in cream, this model is distinctly different from the standard salmon pink variant.
Note the even colour shade throughout, including the edge of the tinplate baseplate (late issue).
Interior is standard pale grey with driver, fawn steering wheel and treaded tyres. Intact original windscreen too (tiny marking). None of the usual marks at exposed points front and rear, this example presents very well indeed . Closest scrutiny with magnification finds a few tiny touch-ins. Minor tarnishing to base.
The plain red and yellow box is bright and complete. Very crisp indeed -nn e set of end flaps could barley be prised open! Note that at the other end, there is a tear to an internal end flap seam.
Shopkeeper’s price at one end flap.
