Dinky 179 Studebaker President Sedan. Two tone blue issue. Scarce with spun wheels. Very near mint/boxed. From the Italian collection.
Notes
This model has a distinctive shade of light blue with royal blue tail fins, shining spun wheels, white knobbly tyres. Original silver detailing picks out the bodylines beautifully. A truly stunning disaply piece in virtually shop-fresh condition:
Bright baseplate and the original tyres have ‘M’ for Meccano stamped. Two very small marks away from mint. Stray dab of factory silver at the edge of the rear screen.
The correctly-spotted pictorial box is a fitting partner. Complete, clean and brightly coloured. Resistant end flaps show minimal handling. No tears or graffiti. A couple of light creases.
