Dark Blue 55b

[eburak]

I recently bought 2 more 55b Ford Fairlane Police Car. These supposed to be dark blue versions. I get the parcel and models do not look dark blue to me. I compared them with my old model. My old model looks darker to me.

Here is the photo. Left one is my old model, center and right ones are new models.



Is there any other Matchbox model which I can compare with dark blue paint?

Best regards,

Burak

See Nick's listing here: http://www.vintagebritishdiecasts.co.uk ... /xx55b.htm The dark blue is distinctly different and a gloss finish. Yours are light metallic according to the photo.

All three are metallic blue, the dark blue is a very dark blue gloss paint similar to blue ink, it is not metallic.

Hello Burak, the dark blue 55b is on Georges Casting Show, but here it is again.

Thanks for replies. I was sure that these are not dark blue but wanted to ask because I did not see any dark blue version with naked eye.

The dark blue 55b is very rare and is not seen very often.
