LINCOLN CONTINENTAL EXECUTIVE LIMOUSINE

It's a proper Corgi - even has the old turned wheels - and has the trademarks of Corgi; opening everything - naturally, OK but it's a stretch limo so lets give it darkened windows - and purple flock carpets, including in the boot - Oh and just to finish it off, a telly in the back where you can't really see it, requiring a whole load of stuff under the car - yep, that's the way to make a Corgi. And - it is all been put inside a finely made model.

This one's a bit bashed about and the telly's been nicked, the back window has been put out - looks like it's been working the late night taxi trade in Liverpool! - look at that twisted boot lid, it has come somewhat down-market.

The model is a slight anachronism though. The wheels for instance, all the new models for ages have had cast wheels of some sort, turned wheels are getting to be out of date, but the car was sold in a bubble-pack, must have been just about the first to be sold that way. It harks back to the early Sixties, the last gasp maybe of the true Corgi?
