Description: Around 1975, Brian Harvey, a British collector, was scandalized by the exorbitant prices reached by early Dinky Toys ("Modelled Miniatures") on the collector's market. He decided to retaliate by creating a new series of white metal models, replicas of these old Dinky Toys, which he called Buccaneer Models (buccaneer = pirate, indeed, the name is deliberately provocative). These models were sold both as assembly kits and as already built and painted models. The patterns and master molds were made by Colin Flannery. Brian Harvey obtained permission from Meccano — owner of Dinky Toys at the time — to produce white metal copies of classic Dinky Toys from the 30 series. Around 1975, Buccaneer reproduced in white metal several models from the 39 Dinky Toys series: the 1937 Buick Viceroy Taxi (based on the 39d), the 1937 Packard (based on the 39a), the 1937 Chrysler Royal (based on the 39e), and the 1937 Oldsmobile (based on the 39b). These models were initially delivered in a simple plastic bag. Buccaneer also copied the Dinky Chrysler Airflow......And also the 29b Streamline Bus "Holland Coachcraft" which we offer here, and which is in superb condition!
