DeSoto Fireflite U.S.A. Police Car by Dinky Toys

This particular model was sold on ebay by George's Good Stuff in November 2007 for £106.77 in the following condition:
This beautiful and hard to find Dinky police car model has just the tiniest bit of age rubbing, but is otherwise immaculate, very very near mint, it's an absolute beauty, and it comes in its superb original box which apart from a couple of reattached inner tuck-ins and a little light age wear is crisp, clean, bright and 100 per cent complete - very nice indeed!

Overall a very collectable example of a difficult to find model, and a wonderful addition to any collection!
