D179
Dinky 179 Studebaker President Sedan. Two-tone blue issue. Mint (but small casting blemish at the rear) /boxed. From a single owner from new collection in Buckinghamshire.
Notes
Many items from this collection were bought new during the 1960?s, after enquiring in toyshops for old, unsold shop stock.
This superb Studebaker model has a distinctive shade of light blue with royal blue tail fins, fawn wheels, clean white knobbly tyres. Original silver detailing picks out the bodylines beautifully.
A lovely quality piece.
Bright baseplate and the original tyres have ‘M’ for Meccano stamped.
Note that there is a little casting hole at the rear, just above the bumper and a little raised casting dot on the roof.
The correctly-spotted pictorial box is complete, crisp and clean with day-one bright colours. Small tear at an end flap hinge. Period price at an end flap.
