Notes
This most eye-catching classic American car is finished in bright sky blue, with a white roof and side flashes, silver trim, spun wheels, well-shaped black treaded tyres, matte baseplate.
Hard to find a mark but closest scrutiny finds a couple of dot retouches.
Issued at the end of the production run( 1959-63), this rare variation is correctly presented in a late issue paler yellow picture box. Extremely crisp and brightly-coloured. Blue colour spot is shown. All car illustrations show the same colour variations i.e. two tone blue on one face, and light tan & green on the other, both with spun wheels. Tiny wear.
A scarce variation.
