FD550
French Dinky 550 Chrysler 'Saratoga'. Near mint plus/boxed. Pink and white. Scarce model from The Berlin Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1961 -65, this version has a distinctive pink and white finish, bright red interior, concave wheels and white tyres.
Bright baseplate too.
Much better than usual factory application of the white paint details.
Barely a mark, although note the as-made, slightly ‘textured’ quality to the paint finish. Couple of light tyre flat spots and a little surface crazing to one.
The large picture box is very clean, bright and fresh.Light age/handling wear and note the very small date in pen on the top surface (8 1 65).
