Musical Ford Thames Wall's Ice Cream Van (474)


$54.99

This much-loved ‘musical’ version of Corgi’s Wall’s Ford Thames Ice Cream Van was initially produced in October 1965. Given the model number 474, it was launched just six months after an earlier edition, number 447, which had omitted the iconic five note chimes. The additional production cost of including the musical movement resulted in 447’s child and ice cream seller figures not being included.

Instead, Corgi created a new box design, 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.

Length: 105mm x Width: 36mm x Height: 48mm
Length: 4 1/8in x Width: 1 7/16in x Height: 1 7/8in

It's cute and reminds of my days as an ice cream seller with my own truck.

Great detail. Wish the tune was a few notes longer.

Quality

I have ordered 8 different models from the Corgi Club and 7 of them have concerning quality control issues.
This Ford Thames Musical & its first version that is non-musical, has bumper chrome defects that unfortunately ruins the whole look of the model.

The new 474 run is a top quality build, great paint scheme, and the Corgi box it comes in will transport you back in time. Playing the Music is fun too! A must have for the nostalgic Corgi Toy Collector.

Nice addition to my collection
Only flaw is that the musical notes don’t always play
Plays one note, then nothing
And other times maybe 2 or 3
