My 5 year old came back from great-grandma's house today with this little number. It's still in pretty good shape... anyone know of these, got any like it? At first I though it said Country Squire on the tailgate but it actually says "sedan".

Very fine design & build - I guess this promotional tool was aimed at adult car buyers back in the 1960s,who would pass it on to their kids after buying the 1:1.
Europe is awash with large scale plastic mid 1970s Volvo 144/5 & 240 series promotionals

It's dealer promotional. Very dangerous for a five-year old to own, better send it to me QUICK!:thumbsup:

Also better go back to Great Grandma's house and see if there are any more that need "protection" from your son.

Yup, dealer promo alright.
I got a bunch myself.
That one's prolly hard plastic, but some are made from a softer plastic and warp like a bastard.
Rambler used to give these out by the bucket load.

Thanks for the thread, I'll try'n take pitchers of mine.

It's in excellent condition but is missing front left wheel.
All four of these have a minor flaw of some sort - I'd be easy on the price on next owner :)

looks like you got the same one only in white and the "C" or "D" pillars are still intact.:confused:

yes both hubley wagons are in decent shape with exception of Beige '62 having part of fr. bumper missing.
Keep an eye in classifieds. I'm getting ready to list a dozen of so oddball lot of toys. I'm having a house cleaning. These will be included

Yeah, I got a Ford Torino like these cars for Christmas one year. Guy on the block was a Ford employee. Every boy on the block got one also.

I have 13 promos of Fords including the red 57 Bird. That Bird must have been made in great quantities because it brings very low dollars on the bay.

Currently on display;
60 Galaxie Convert
58 Edsel Hardtop
55 & 57 Birds
56 Lincoln Connie
61 and 62 Galaxie hardtops
4, 66 Galaxie hardtops and 1 convertible ( I have a 1:1 66 Hardtop)
