What is it about old cars that are so appealing? Is it their simplicity of design? Or is it because they were easy to work on or is just the nostalgic feel you get from them?
I was born in 1953 and I remember seeing cars made as far back as the 1930s still running and being used.
Corgi celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the release of its Brown Ford Consul Saloon diecast car in 1/46 Scale.
As compared to the modern Corgi diecast releases the Ford Consul seems a bit crude but the quality is still there.
The rounded body of the car is painted a medium brown. It has silver hubcaps, rubber wheels front and side windows, large chrome bumpers and no interior details.
It’s a sturdy little car with a solid under frame and looks very much like its organ release version of 1956.
Corgi went all out to celebrate the event with a special slip lid box, a Corgi A Model history pamphlet, a short description of the car and the car itself is cradled in plastic cocoon covered with yellow fabric.
It’s a Limited Edition release. I have #4,790 out of 5,000.
1 Corinthians 2:9 (NKJV) “But as it is written:“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
