Oldsmobile HQ Staff Car (358)


$39.99

Based on Corgi’s long-running Oldsmobile 88, the HQ Staff Car was one of a number of military- themed vehicles introduced into the Corgi range at the beginning of 1965.An attempt to breathe new life into previously issued models, the initiative was only partly successful, possibly because Corgi chose mainly British vehicles, inexplicably giving them incongruous US Army liveries.

The HQ Staff Car was the exception and is now regarded as one of the most collectible of all Corgi Oldsmobile 88s – due to its low sales at the time and therefore relative scarcity today. Despite being based on an early Corgi tooling (from 1962), it is a fine model in its own right and features a full complement of passengers – a driver and three other figures.

JOIN THE CORGI MODEL CLUB
As a member of the Corgi Model Club you will receive a monthly delivery of an officially licensed die-cast Corgi Toys re-issue from our collection. Each Corgi Model Club model has been carefully chosen and curated from Corgi’s ‘golden era' of the 1960s and early 1970s.

LICENSED RE-ISSUES
Each and every Corgi Model Club model is exclusively produced by Hornby Hobbies PLC, owners of the famous Corgi Toys brand name. Each one comes with an individually numbered certificate of authenticity confirming its provenance as an official Corgi Model Club re-issue.

PERFECT DIE-CAST FACSIMILES
Corgi Model Club models are exact facsimiles of original Corgi Toys. When in mint condition and with their original box, original examples can fetch hundreds of Pounds at auction, making collecting Corgi Toys of the 1960s and early 1970s out of reach for many of us. That is, until now! It is our mission to make collecting Corgi Toys as affordable as possible – introducing these fantastic models to a new generation of die-cast model collectors.

SAVE MONEY
By joining the Corgi Model Club you will save between 25% to 40% on each model compared to the online prices from our own shop.  Shipping is just $7.99 per model – but further savings can be made when you buy more models at a time.

NO CATCHES – GUARANTEED!
Corgi Model Club membership is completely free and without any catches. And should you ever wish to cancel – which you are totally free to do at any time – there is no financial penalty.

NEVER MISS OUT
Corgi Model Club membership ensures that you're first in the queue to receive each re-issue. For reasons outside of our control, models sometimes can run out of stock or even be discontinued, so we do our best to keep aside all available models for our members.

STAY IN CONTROL
To ensure you remain in control of your Corgi Model Club membership, you can access your customer portal by logging into your membership account where you can make as many changes to your membership as you like and at any time.

ZERO COMMITMENT
Being part of the Corgi Model Club is more like a flexible membership rather than a subscription. There is zero commitment. In addition, we have introduced a number of initiatives to make collecting our models as easy and cost effective as possible:

CATCHING UP - We know that new members can find it frustrating when they’re lagging behind in the collection compared to our earliest members. For this reason, we offer a ‘catch up’ service so that all Corgi Model Club members can easily get up to date so they receive the latest models. We've added the customer portal so you can add as many other models as you want to your monthly delivery with extra savings on shipping making catching up an extremely cost effective way to collect our models!

CHANGE YOUR FREQUENCY
We want to be able to make collecting Corgi Model Club models as easy on your pocket as possible, so we allow our members to reduce the frequency they receive our models from one per month to just one model every two or three months or if you just want to pause for a while then you can do this at anytime in your customer portal.

HASSLE FREE
If you wish to cancel your membership after receiving a model then its never been so easy.
 

If you wish to return a model then send it back to us in the condition you received it and that will be the end of the matter. We will refund you the cost of the model, no questions asked.

Nice re-issue of Oldsmobile!

These models were the coveted toys from the 50s and 60s. Not often seen as some hobby shops and toy outlets didn't carry these British DIECAST cars but they are a solid corner of how kids grew up then. Very nicely rendered.

Nice car!

Love these new remakes of corgi classics. For years I’ve been buying old broken damaged Corgi’s on the bay, and completely refurbishing them. These new collectibles are really the icing on the cake. Now how about doing the Camaro with the golden jacks. Please!

Another Wonderful Model by CMCUSA!

I love being able to take these little walks down "Memory Lane" with childhood models I believed I'd never see again. Beautifully reproduced and packaged, they bring a smile to my face and plenty of fond memories everytime I look at them on my display shelves. Thanks Corgi Model Club, I'll be back for more!

The most famous Monte Carlo Rally winner of all time – and the French tried to disqualify it!

Sounds familiar these days, doesn’t it?  But it really did happen - in 1966 to be precise. It sounds hard to believe, but the Mini was hot favourite to gain a hat-trick of victories – rally legends Mäkinen and Hopkirk each drove one, together with Rauno Aaltonen in a third Cooper.  And they thrilled fans when they finished first, second and third. But joy quickly turned to disbelief when, ALL three cars were disqualified.
