Thanks Frank. These old eyes saw the Thunderbird as 56 rather than 55. Sorry about that. Loved the post.

Newer Matchbox Dinky but nice none the less. That Jaguar XK150 is in my favourite colour and an excellent model. Thanks Frank.

Dinky also did this XK150 in cream with outstanding chrome wire wheels which were much more common on the real cars in the USA.Β  An excellent model that I have in my Jaguar collection.Β  Looks great with the Oxford Diecast fixed head coupes.
