Corgi Toys Musical Ford Thames Wall's Ice Cream Van
Blue14 D2C Ltd
We all remember the sound on a sweltering hot summer’s day. The evocative and hypnotic Wall's jingle accompanied by the puttering sound of a Ford Thames van's hard-working engine as it drives down your street. You come racing down the stairs, "Mum! Can I have an icecream..."
Few diecast vehicles have so successfully evoked that pure sense of nostalgia as Corgi's classic 1965 Wall's Ice Cream Van model. Catalogue 474, it's one of the all-time greats.
Corgi sold almost 150,00 of this colourful classic until its withdrawal in 1968. But precious few survive with working chimes. This authentic working, musical replica, is a fabulous tribute to our great British model-making heritage.
We have recreated exactly to the original model including the 'pin and comb' musical movement, sprung suspension, moulded interior and sliding windows. Just like the original, this model comes with a full set of decals and instructions for placement. The authentic box design comes complete with an illustrative insert card depicting expectant ice cream buyers queuing for their Wall’s ice cream or lolly. Cuts in this card allow it to be slotted into the open window of the ice cream van model to create a mini diorama.
