Description: The Opel Kadett A, launched in 1962, met the growing demand for small, economical, and reliable sedans in Europe. With its modern lines and accessible price, it became one of Germany's best-selling cars. Dinky Toys France, seeking to cover the most popular foreign manufacturers on the French market, integrated it into its 500 series under reference 540. Announced in smoke gray, it was eventually produced from around 1963-1967 in several colors including red, blue, and a very light aqua green. How could one not rejoice at this change of heart from the Bobigny firm; these colors are so much more appealing! It is one of the rare large-scale miniatures of this model produced at the time, which makes it even more interesting for collectors today. And, to top it all off, Dinky Toys hit the mark: this reproduction is superb! The wheels exist in two sizes: large diameter chrome with ribbed 15 mm tires (Which, by the way, is an anomaly!). Then they would still be chrome, then aluminum, but this time small diameter, with 13 mm tires. These small diameter wheels were initially equipped with ribbed tires. Then later equipped with Dunlop tires. Let's immediately point out a peculiarity of the model we are offering for sale. The chassis has been very neatly disassembled to remove the interior. And the chassis has then been re-riveted. This allows for the creation of a variant! However, it is important to emphasize that this is the one and only modification. The paint is original, as are the chrome, wheels, and tires. And the whole is in excellent condition: thick and shiny paint. Superb chrome. And wheels in very good condition. The model we are offering has small diameter wheels, equipped with ribbed tires. The chassis is anodized. We will only regret the right rear tire, which is slightly damaged... But, it's not a big deal. Autojaune junior will soon be selling replacement tires online. To conclude, take advantage of this opportunity. At this low price, treat yourself to this original model! Thanks to its carefully executed transformation, you will be able to add a unique variant to your display cases
