Dinky 174 Ford Mercury Cougar. Very near mint/boxed. Metallic blue. From The Berlin Collection.
Notes
A bright metallic blue finish on this classic American car issued between 1969-72.
Opening doors, detailed deep orange-yellow interior with tipping seats, number plates at front and rear – and don’t forget the retractable aerial (notably intact), and operated by means of a lever on the silver baseplate (advise to leave well alone however, since it is by raising and lowering it that the chrome finish rubs off and often the aerial can snap off too). Silver-coloured cast wheels.
Occasional negligible mark only.
The pictorial card box is bright and clean.Little area of surface loss at an end flap and minor wear besides.
