ESSAI COULEUR

DINKY TOYS (FRANCE) 24V BUICK ROADMASTER (version avec intérieur de toit quadrillé & jantes chromées) ivoire, toit corail

les 'essais couleur' ont été des modèles présentés à la direction de MECCANO, dont les coloris n'ont pas été retenus pour la commercialisation - ce type de pièce a sans doute été produit en quelques exemplaires, dont cette couleur, qui a déjà été recensée dans une collection privée bien connue.- ce modèle a sans doute été proposé vers 1955-56, eu égard à son intérieur de toit quadrillé - elle serait de la même famille que la rare version ivoire, toit bleu clair métal, qui, elle, a été retenue. RARISSIME & EN ETAT EXCEPTIONNEL !
