From 1966, the Oldsmobile casting gets an extended life as the Thrushbuster car from the Man From U.N.C.L.E. TV series. There were two editions, the first in cream and then the vast majority were produced in a deep blue shade. The blue models also seem to have a different bonnet, with a raised edge around the panel where the sticker goes. They also have a different treatment of the bottom of the A pillar and bodywork in that area. Many people seem to be trying to cash in on the significantly more valuable cream model by spaying their blue models white. Wrong on two counts - the casting and it should be off-white or cream anyway - so do please look out for these.
This example is a nicely entirely original blue edition with shiny plastic search lamps and is in very good condition, with only minor marks to teh paintwork. This is the early edition with shaped wheels, not cast.
It is an odd model with no suspension. The top switch operates correctly.
I can supply this with a nice reproduction box. The box is slightly smaller than the original but looks very attractive on display. There is a ring included but it is just card and doesn't have the image effect of the original. The illustrations show another edition with the box but I am happy to swap them over while that item remains available.
