Notes
This most eye-catching classic American car is in original condition finished in bright sky blue, with a white roof and side flashes, silver trim, spun wheels, clean original white treaded tyres, gloss baseplate correct with no number printed.
Very nice!
A few tiny marks/dots.
Issued at the end of the production run( 1959-63), this rare variation is correctly presented in a late issue paler yellow picture box. Extremely crisp and brightly-coloured. Two-toe blue colour spot is shown (do note that a blue and white colour spot was never printed, occasionally found in a single deep blue colour spot box). All car illustrations show the same colour variations i.e. two tone blue on one face, and light tan & green on the other, both with spun wheels. Very minor age wear and a pencilled dollar price on the top surface.
A scarce variation.
