Another of my old model cars has been returned to me , I must admit I don't remember owning this one .
It's a Maserati and I think rather cute .
I did a bit more investigating and found this from a old Dinky catalogue , there where six original models so I need to track down the other three .
Going with this vibe I think - not sure about "Chicago's 5 ACRES OF SIN" or the "SECRET SEX SOCIETIES"
Perhaps this is more wholesome - gallant chaps pushing their cars to victory !
Ah yes, the so-called "sweat" magazines from the mid-century (last): I think I'd take them in place of the inescapable assault on decency coming at us from all directions nowadays.
ReplyDeleteYes I suspect the actual articles were bland - once you had been tempted into buying them from the news stand.
DeleteIndeed: mid-century "click bait" :)
DeleteGood selling point .
DeleteClassy design. I think I had the light green one, a hand down from someone in my father's family.
ReplyDeleteA lot of my toys were handed down to me from elder cousins .
DeleteSuper, lovely looking car and would be well worth tracking them all down, they look so "classic" really stylish.
