Corgi Model Club 1:49 - Oldsmobile Super 88, Blue/White, 235

This attractive standard saloon version of Corgi’s classic Oldsmobile Super 88 casting was introduced into the range in 1962. Modelled on a fifth generation Oldsmobile Super 88, Corgi 235 is an unheralded gem in their 1960s-era back catalogue. Less than 350,000 were produced, making it one of the rarer Corgi Super 88 models – a situation resulting from Corgi’s promotional activity largely concentrating on the Sheriff Car version, which had been released earlier in the year. 

Original models of Corgi 235 came in differing shades of blue – notably a mid metallic blue and the striking pale blue we have chosen for this Corgi Model Club edition. All were presented in the same illustrated box, which depicted the car with a yellow ochre body and a black roof – a scheme the model was never issued in. Corgi 235 was deleted from the range after just three years – adding to its collectability today.
