Another iconic US motor from the fifties in a model
that lasted Corgi well into then next decade in a variety of guises - this was
the first and it's a nice piece of modelling too. It is the 'Mechanical' version
- with the friction motor built in. These were never really a success and were
very quickly withdrawn.
According to the Great Book of Corgi the mechanical
version was always black over pink and the freewheeling version was cream over
pale green. Ramsay has some cross over suggesting both versions are available in
both colours. If this is the case they quote black over pink as the more highly
valued item
