FD552
French Dinky 552 Chevrolet Corvair. Near mint plus/boxed. Red version. From a beautiful, single-owner collection, some 25 years in the making.
Notes
This bright red Chevrolet has a detailed cream interior and shining concave wheels with suspension. Clean original white tyres with fine tread are well-shaped. Bright baseplate. In close to mint condition with just a few tiny marks and the faintest suggestion of a roof rub. This colour version is a little harder to find than the turquoise.
The picture box is bright, clean and crisp. Fresh-looking. No tears or graffiti. Light crease. Note the stamp ‘11 113’ on on the top surface of the box.
