Dinky Toys 191 Dodge Royal

The Dinky Toys 191 Dodge Royal is an iconic scale model produced by Dinky Toys between 1959 and 1964. This model is based on the Dodge Royal, an American luxury sedan manufactured in the 1950s by Dodge, a division of Chrysler. The Dodge Royal was known for its bold, wide design and distinctive rear wings, which were emblematic of the flamboyant style of the American auto industry in the 1950s. The car offered powerful engines, comfort and luxury, making it popular with car enthusiasts of the time.

The Dinky Toys 191 model was made to a scale of 1:43 and featured accurate details of the real car. The model often came in striking color combinations, such as the light green and black shown here, and had chrome accents on the bumpers and grille, which gave the model an authentic look. The model features white rubber tires and rotating wheels, which added to its playability and realism. The long, streamlined body and classic American wings have been meticulously reproduced, making the model a favorite among collectors and children.

This particular example is in very nice condition, meaning that the model has been exceptionally well preserved. The original paint is largely intact, with no major scratches or discolorations, and the moving parts such as the wheels function as they should. Models like this are rare and sought after by collectors, especially if they are well preserved.

Although the model is in very nice condition, the original box is in poor condition. Original packaging is often fragile and shows considerable wear over time, but even in poor condition an original box adds value to the model by confirming its authenticity and provenance. In this case, a high-quality reproduction box is also included, which helps to present the model in a style similar to the original packaging. Although not an original, a well-made reproduction box offers an attractive alternative for displaying and preserving the model, especially for collectors who want to keep the model in its original glory. Made in England.
