CONDITION
DESCRIPTION: This stunning gold, 1969 Matchbox Mercury Cougar K-21, has been a
show piece its entire life! The paint is
VERY NICE! There is a slight
manufacturer defect on the roof and three very small chips on the front &
rear fenders; all are barely noticeable on display. The windows are still shiny
and clear without any scratches or cracks noticed. The red interior still looks
new and is nice & clean. The bumpers
and base plate still have a new sheen to them. The wheels are all still shiny
with light chrome loss and NO MELTING!!! The front wheels both turn easily left
to right. The tires are all flexible without any flat spots. The original box is clean and crisp with
bright colors. The clear display window has only a couple wrinkles. All inner
and outer flaps are present and box corners have slight wear.
LOOK CLOSELY AT THE BEAUTIFUL PAINT, THE SHINE, AND NO MELTING WHEELS! There is no denying it, this 1969 Matchbox Mercury Cougar, K-21 is seriously a MADE IN ENGLAND GEM!! This model was so popular among children and normally very well played with. It is so hard to find one in such NICE CONDITION. This beauty was meticulously cared for by an adult collector since new!!! The original, FIRST VERSION box is also equally impressive with its fresh, bright colors, still crisp cardboard, nicely intact, clear display window with very few wrinkles and an UNPUNCHED HEADER!!!! (Without a retail hanging hole).
*Please read the CONDITION DESCRIPTION and look closely at the detailed pictures.
**This model was carefully taken care of in a dust-free display and in a smoke-free home.
