I remember....

…that Marcel Van Cleemput, in his book « the great book of Corgi » explains that the fate of the Lamborghini Miura was delayed for two years. The previous plans were concluded in 1967 and they were planned for November 1968. The bureau d’étude also started traveling in Italy to find the inspiration of the different carriages and builders of automobiles, not Lamborghini.
 
Now the Ghia Chrysler 6.4 CORGI TOYS now includes the customer’s interest for these « special » carriages of the most original ones that are not secret in Italy. Solido, Mebetoys, Politoys, Matchbox, Edil Toys… more quickly than CORGI TOYS to get the Miura. The Swansea company dut retarder entered production in 1969, and will find a plus for sale.
 
There was a plastic figurine of the famous taureau of the «Miura» race, here you will find the name on the go.
 
This allows CORGI TOYS to position itself on an original créneau. The car meets a certain success that the children have never seen before among the customers of collections. It is easy to position yourself after the reproductions of Solido or Politoys.
 
Fifty years after this sortie, it is difficult to procure, surtout in this première version, with the specific box.

Lamborghini is offering this week à la vente, in companies of other contemporary cars, also equipped with Whizzwheels representative of the era.
 
Sur ce point, CORGI TOYS a dû tâtonner, hésiter. It is without doubt difficult for the decision makers to pass manners also radical to this type of roues.
 
Certain items such as the Ford Capri are programmed this week to be equipped with steel wheels in bronze colors and look for a red plastic insert. These Ford Capri cars are rare. A revient price was raised at the moment when CORGI TOYS devait faire des économies a limité sa fabrication.

The glass bottles with red and yellow colors and the relics of the glorious past of the brand are a real plus, as are the superb illustrations shown above. The Porsche 911 Targa, Marcos Volvo and Citroën SM for this week are equipped with this type of construction. Later, the replacement parts for the Porsche and the Citroën will be found in the black colored glass boxes and the illustrations in the photos. There is a clear preference for premieres.

about boxes...

 

Restons in the story books. This week two spectacular Politoys, in the foldable diorama box are proposed. The stockage and the cost of transport and fabrication will quickly explain these boxes. The car is maintenue in the box as a double-sided autocollant, which is not the most practical one. Seules deux autos connaitront ce type d’écrin. Quickly, they were released in a crystal box, identical to the cells of the Ford Mustang twenty weeks ago.

The Lamborghini Miura is superb. It has all the ouvrants, and includes the folding hood cover (a plus compared to the Solido). There’s more of a model with a pair of ailleurs.

The Ferrari 250LM Pininfarina deserves some comments. There is a truly original model. Il s’agit non pas d’une version competition comme pourrait le faire croire la belle illustration sur la boîte mais d’une version routière « road ». The version differs in terms of its shock absorbers and Plexiglas bubbles on the top hatch.
 
The box is superb. Enjoy the illustration. Nous sums on the parabolic in Monza. The most intriguing thing is the single seat which is behind. Il faut donc resituer la scène. Our visits to Monza, a day or the Scuderia Ferrari available on the circuit for your private experience

beautiful dinky toys for christmas

Other models proposed this week are not shared by individuals. Here is a photo found in the archives of Robert Goirand. She was awarded in a grand magazine at the time of the fin d’année celebrations, the debut of the fiftieth year (1953 after the publicity table announcing the Panhard Movic SNCF and the Simca 8) At this époque, this is « the » moment of the year when the day of jouets happens. The faut garder in mémoire that this business is saisonnier. The manufacturers of the jewels must be fought to be the twenty every year. The abundance of DINKY TOYS models never leaves you without a doubt on the date. For the photo, the sellers ont overchargées the rayons, don’t hesitate to check out the surplus on the models already in place.

Chronicles from Robert Goirand : picture of a department store during Christmas period 

On the right, from the box of six Ford Vedette 1949 as the cells proposed this week, servent de présentoir.
 
Cells here contain the models nous faisant face, Ford Calberson, SNCF and other Isobloc ont déjà dû être mises à la poubelle.
 
Once again the impeccable alignment of the models and the head of the sellers, the placement on the other is annoying.
 
Elles ne savent pas que soixante-dix even later certain amateurs pesteront for a éclat sur le pare-chocs ou l’aile arrière…

I didn’t open up about the cliché of the Ford model, as it was proposed. Il faut dire qu’il faisait figure d’exception. There is the second series 25 for an individual packaging. More beautiful effect of ailleurs. That beau cadeau constituait sous le sapin de Noël. The presentation of the boxes must be a reliable box. Comment on the value of this high-end store? Finally, what can be hidden here is contrary to these sellers

my favorite of the week are these three quiralu models

Le temps a fait son oeuvre. Despite their rusticity, I consider these models made in Luxeuil with bienveillance.
 
When we have commented, our options are more interesting and interesting to us. Les pioneers de la collection les avaient snobés.
 
See the Rolls Royce for the originality of its bodywork and the Simca Marly here combined to meet your favourites.
 
The Messerschmitt, as it is, strong original and well reproduced, should not be considered as a clearly superior reproduction to 1/43.

The new wave of new collections appears in the milieu of the last few years, with Jean-Bernard Sarthe at your disposal, in this range of miniatures the opportunity to multiply the color variations à l’infini or presque. This way of doing things should not be practiced but it is the case that the collection of miniature automobiles is an example of each model.

There is also the fact that the Quiralu acquire the letters of noblesse before collections like their father. Pour ma part, leur boîtage m’a toujours questionné. You would like to know more about the illustrator of the boxes and his method of entry. Etait-il de la région ? De Vesoul or de Belfort…? Here’s the occasion on a blog about your suit (My tailor is rich) The bottles of Quiralu are among the six most notable ones.
