Details of Dinky 958 Snow Plough
The Dinky Snow Plough.
Made from January 1961 to 1966. Supplied in a blue striped Dinky Supertoys box the baseplate is also marked Dinky Supertoys with plastic windows an opening tailgate and movable plough. Length: 7¾“ or 197mm.
Often overlooked is the difference which was made to the colour(s) of the cab front. Because of the snow plough covering much of the front it isn’t immediately obvious, there are models with black on the lower part of the front, like the cab sides, and other models with a yellow only front panel. The top part of all driver cabins is allways black. The original price was 12/6 . It was available in yellow & black finish. Released as Dinky 958 in 1961 withdrawn as Dinky 958 in 1966.
