Wonderful posts, Jacques! Were the Dinky Toys' from your childhood?
I didn't realize that they modelled so many Opel's. Also, having recently discovered Schuco VW and BMW models, I see that Schuco's Opel's are equally as finely finished. Thanks for these terrific posts.

Randall, I am 76 now and started to collect again, when I was 30.
Most of my Dinkies were gone . I live in the Netherlands and for my work in 1978 I was often in Paris. I bought the French Dinkies 2nd hand in a Toy shop in the Rue du Bac (Centre).
The French Dinkies are the best, I think. I even bought around 1980-1983 new ones boxed.

Ah yes, I recall the French Dinky Toys. Many interesting subjects.
