D174
Dinky 174 Ford Mercury Cougar. Very near mint/boxed. Metallic blue, with retractable aerial. From the Italian collection.
Notes
A bright metallic blue finish on this classic American car issued between 1969-72.
Opening doors, detailed deep orange-yellow interior with tipping seats, number plates at front and rear – and don’t forget the retractable aerial (notably intact, but untested. In our experience, the act of extending it invariably causes it to snap or at best, just rub off the chrome finish). Operated by means of a lever on the silver baseplate! One mark at a wheel arch and a little area of rough casting on the bonnet. Cast wheels.
The pictorial card box is complete and vividly coloured. A little handling wear/creasing and a shop price label has been removed at an end flap leaving a little area of glue residue and a tiny fleck of surface removal.
