Dinky Toys 178 Plymouth Plaza
Plymouth Plaza by Dinky Toys, No. 178. Salmon pink & green. Very, very near mint/boxed. From The Rickman Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1959-63, this version has a lustrous salmon pink and light green finish with shining shaped spun wheels and well-shaped white treaded tyres. In all original condition throughout, this is an eye-catching classic Dinky car on display:
Untarnished base has a few light scratches.
Happily free of the near-obligatory roof rub, chipping at bumpers or rear wing tips. One mere dot on the rear wing top edges. A virtually mint example!
The picture box is complete and bright, with the correct two-colour spot at the end flaps. A little grubbiness and minor wear only.
