Corgi 290
Corgi 290 Kojak Buick. Very scarce authentic 'Hatless Kojak' issue. Mint/boxed. With both figures, detachable roof light and badge. From The Pennsylvanian Collection.
Notes
A very sought-after early issue – this Kojak’s Buick is a vivid metallic bronze with 12-spoke wheels. The figure of Kojak is without a hat and also in evening dress. Note too that Crocker (in the car) is wearing a mid-blue jacket (as in the standard issue).
This set comes complete with the unapplied self-adhesive badge and the detachable roof light.
The card backdrop and card inner are complete, crisp and bright. Little scuff to the polystyrene.
The outer box is complete and bright with vivid graphics. Look very fresh with smooth intact original cellophane.
No graffiti. Happily free of the expected crease at box reverse where header joins the main body of the box. Tiniest end flap tear.
