Corgi Toys @ 60: Fiat revised and a Fordson Set




The Fiat 1800 becomes a Fiat 2100 just a year or so after appearing in 1960, and is the second model to get jewelled headlamps and the second also to get a Venetian blind in the rear window. This model singularly lacks varieties. I know of none with other than fixed shaped wheels and they are all in similar shades of pale and deep lilac or pink and plum as some describe the colours. I really do need to get one in better condition.


The other issue this month in 1961 was Gift Set 18. containing the two items issued in May, the first Fordson Tractor (55) and the first plough (56). There would not have been a driver on the tractor at this time and this is the model with headlamps outside the front panel.
