In my opinion one of the nicest automobile castings that Meccano France produced in the 1950’s was the 24 series Dinky Toys Chrysler New Yorker convertible, based on the 1955 model of that well known American car maker. These were finished in red, then yellow, and finally in a lovely shade of metallic blue.

This model also features another wonderful example of silver detailing, not only on the intricate front grill, but also on the sweeping side spears.
When introduced in the U.S. they were priced at $1.75, when most other Dinky models cost $1.00-$1.25. So quite expensive at the time, but well worth it!
