Details of French Dinky 889U Lyonns Autobus
The French Dinky Lyonns Autobus. In 1965, French Dinky Toys launched the Berliet PCM Autobus Urbains (Lyonns) 889U. However, it wasn't until 1966 that the model featured in the catalogue. The 224 mm (about 8.82 in) bus cost fr. 27.50 (new francs). In the red and cream livery of the city of Lyon, the clear plastic windows surround fawn passenger seating and a driver’s cab, with a steering wheel. The folding doors open when the suspension is pushed downward. The model compliments the almost identical green and cream of the Autobus Parisien 889. Both make a final catalogue appearance in 1970. The original price was fr. 27.50 . It was available in red & fawn finish. Released as French Dinky 889U in 1965 withdrawn as French Dinky 889U in 1971.
