Ford Fordor in Red

The Dinky Ford For­dor Sedan was pro­duced from 1949 to 1959 in a large assort­ment of body and wheel col­ors, ini­tial­ly as #139A and lat­er renum­bered #170.

The hum­ble red mod­el which was pro­duced with maroon (and lat­er red) hubs has always intrigued me because of the well doc­u­ment­ed fac­to­ry error vari­a­tion that sport­ed both maroon and red hubs. I believe this is the hard­est vari­a­tion to find. Here are all three ver­sions of the red Ford For­dor shown from left to right with maroon hubs, red hubs and the fac­to­ry error mod­el with front maroon and rear red hubs.
