#592 Corgi Juniors - Cadillac Eldorado (9-B4) As Well As Mercedes Benz 280-Sl (45-A3) (1970)

As nosotros commented inward previous entries, Corgi Juniors´ cite at the creation of this 1:64 business was Husky. Husky too Corgi are 2 Canis familiaris breeds. The logo of Husky was genuinely the caput of ane of these dogs. The logo, of course, was changed when Husky changed to Corgi Juniors. You tin forcefulness out read to a greater extent than nearly the history of Corgi toys here.

But, focusing directly inward Corgi Juniors, the start models inside this serial came inward 1970. These 2 models hither are amid the start Corgi Juniors models, too were too available equally Husky. The matter I wanted to indicate out of these pictures are the wheels.

As every other die-cast construct manufacturing 1:64 models, Corgi too adapted their depression friction "hot wheels". Matchbox had the "Superfast" wheels, too Corgi had the "Whizzwheels". Hot Wheels start introduced this characteristic inward 1968, too was start "copied" past times Lone Star inward their "Road Masters Impy" Series (1969). Corgi adapted this characteristic for the start fourth dimension inward 1970, although the pattern of the bike was modified afterwards on several times. This start version of the Whizzwheels is mayhap non the nicest one, because the pattern is quite rough. I convey to tell that Husky versions of these models looked much nicer alongside prophylactic wheels too metallic element hubcaps.
