Eligor ~ Dinky ~ 1925 Opel Cabriolet ~ Studebaker Petrol Truck ~ # 30P

Happy Holidays to all Diecast addicts across the World !

"A Christmas Poem" by Bert Donnelly,  originally published in C.A.R.S.  back in 1967.

            On Xmas I was heard, uttering great sounds of joy,
            For there in my stocking,  was an old Tootsietoy,
            My wife,  God Bless Her, had found a La Salle,
            She placed it in my stocking,  a real true pal,
            My pulse really quickened, and my eyes shone like stars,
            For this was like seeing,  a man straight from Mars,
            I hope others among you,  were as happy as me,
            By finding a Tootsie,  nestled under the Tree.

2 models this time,  and of course in Holiday colors !   First,  another nice Eligor model from France, a 1925  Opel Cabriolet with top up,  featuring boat tail back.  Cast body,  plastic roof, wheels,  and rubber tires.    Second,  a 1950-53 Dinky Studebaker "Petrol" Tanker,  cast body and hubs, black sheet metal base, silver grille, bumper, headlights and filler caps -  Made in England - no number on base.

 

 

 

Eligor ~ 1938 Renault Juva 4 Berline ~ # 1014

  An attractive little Renault Berline this week,  in a very nice light green color.  Model features an opening "boot"  with spare wheel / tire,  a nice added touch to this model.   Eligor while not in the same top league with makes such  as Dinky,  Solido,  Corgi  etc...  did produce some nice models which would look good in any collection. 

Made in France  ~   Years  ?   ~   Ref # 1014
4 Door sedan features cast body,  plastic base,  wheels and tires.  opening trunk / boot with spare wheel and tire. 

Changing the  flat !     Merde !

Eligor ~ 1927 Renault Torpedo ~ # 1041

  Another nice example from Eligor !  A recent discovery of mine is just how good some of their models actually are !  A nice simple 1920s Renault will take a prominent parking place in my classic French Voiture Collection.

Eligor ~ 1937 Panhard Dynamic Berline

 Beauté classique !  A model from Eligor this week -  Made in France.  Very impressed with this model,  never thought much about Eligor until seeing this !   Now hoping some of their other range of models look as impressive !   Nothing too amazing,  but they captured the look,  and the paint job is quite good,  the red wheels really set this one off nicely ! Such an attractive style.
