Oldsmobile

Post by Bill Manzke »

A selection of Oldsmobile Corgi Toys.

Still need to find the photos of the Sheriff's car and Man From U.N.C.L.E. cars.

The blue regular wheels Toronado can be found with or without a tow hook.

Note that by the time the late gold colored version of the Toronado was produced there was no longer a need to make the jacks "golden" themselves. By that time Whizzwheels had been introduced and the "Golden Jacks" were no longer a selling feature.

And finally three Pilen copies, recognizable by their opening doors.

I'm not sure if it's a variation, but one my model has a license plate. Others, even mint, don't have it.

I have also seen it in Aqua in an auction. Unfortunately I didn't win that one...
