I recently added a couple of color variants to pair with my '55 New Yorker and '59 DeSoto Diplomat. Came with outstanding boxes, but the factory paint on the green DeSoto is pretty rough. These are probably close to 1/48 (US model railroad O Gauge)

They are good-looking cars as well as good-looking Dinky model automobiles from that era. Nice colors on them, too !

Very interesting, I like them both. I've never considered these models, although I've seen several that are very appealing.

Very nice French Dinky Toys Harv. I have 3 of the 4 you show; had the green/white Chrysler but had it stolen unfortunately.

Yes indeed, it's a good harvest, Harv. 😀 😀 Either you're a picky collector or your camera failed to reveal flaws... but that green paint looks pretty good to me. 🤔 🤨

"... I've seen several that are very appealing."
Yep, these are great looking toys that I remember the older kids having when I was little - to that end - I have a few as sentimental reminders of fond childhood memories.
