Notes
Issued between 1969-72, this is a (probably unique) pre-production example in eye-catching metallic emerald green:
The Oldsmobile Toronado has ‘Take-Off Wheels’(Golden Jacks), and swivelling jewelled headlights. Spring suspension. Tow hook is intact. Fne, well-shaped tyres.
With some rubbing to the plating on the bumpers. A few little marks to the paint finish.
Blue & yellow window box has a little handling wear. Intact original cellophane window.
A little piece of Corgi history – we doubt if there is another example in emerald green!
