Dinky ~ Hudson Commodore Sedan ~ # 171G

Happy Thanksgiving to all Diecast Enthusiast everywhere !  The holidays are quickly coming and thought I'd post another classic Dinky model,  this time with an interesting photographic twist !   Always thought of this car as a gangster - mafia type car that you'd see down at the docks !  This particular example has been restored / re-painted,  usually I find these not the best,  but this one I think came out really nice and is a good representation of the original.  Have a great weekend,  and be nice,  Santa is coming and he has lots of nice diecast models for those nice collectors   :)

 Featured this week is Dinky # 171G,  The Hudson Commodore Sedan.  Made in England between 1954 - 1959, features cast body, cast or turned hubs, black tires, black sheet metal base, silver grille, bumpers and headlights.  Identical to 139b until 1954 when new type base with big lettering was introduced.  Variants include :
1. Cream body,  maroon roof and hubs
2. Blue body,  tan roof and hubs
3. Red upper body and hubs,  turquoise lower body
