Issued between 1965-68, this is the earliest issue of this attractive American car. Deep red finish, pale blue interior, gleaming (notably unrubbed) plated fittings, spring suspension on shaped spun wheels, two figures are seated inside. Original tyres have a light flat spot. One tyre has a couple of light surface cracks.
A scarce find with shaped spun wheels – a first for QDT.

Barely a mark to the paint finish – note the factory assembly crack in the windscreen.
The picture box is bright, and complete with no tears. Period pencilled price. Minor age grubbiness and light handling wear.
