Dinky's Sam's Car

Dinky’s other contribution to Joe 90 merchandise was Sam Loover’s car.



Unlike Joe’s Car, it would seem Sam’s Car was only produced between 1969 and 1971. It came in  various colours, the most common being a chrome silver, a powder blue and a metallic red.



Mine is a boxed metallic red version which I’ve had from new.


It came with a nice little card display stand which held a self adhesive W.I.N. lapel badge.

 

The model also featured a keyless motor - a pull back and go affair.


All in all another very nice Dinky toy.

    Hi Cliff, my esteemed co-blogger Scoop reckons that " I do think there was two different reds. I’m sure I’ve seen a darker version of the one I’ve got. The popular colours were metallic red, light blue and metallic silver.The Big Rat website seems to think there might be a white and a gold one as well. Considering Dinky and it’s paint jobs I’m sure it’s possible.

    Hi Scoop, thanks for that, I do have a burgundy one that just looks too genuine to be a repaint so good to know it was a colour release, am I sitting on a goldmine? haha.
    cheers,
    Cliff.
