Notes
This is a scarce early commercial truck from the French Dinky factory (issued during 1953). It is attractively finished in pale grey with a black tinplate tilt, red ridged metal wheels. Well-shaped, original smooth tyres with ‘M’ stamped.
Complete delicate lettering on both sides (one side has a few edge nibbles to the cream background).
Shiny base. Spare stowed. Marking to the paint finish at some exposed edges.
Little rub to the front edge of the canopy and a couple of tiny surface marks to one of the transfers. Couple of small, light surface scratches on the black canopy.
Such a charming advertising truck!
