    Still yet another from my Yesteryear Gift set. One more to go after this. This model being the Y-9 1912 Simplex. It was produced for many years but only in this color scheme from 1968-1969. In the 1970 it turned gold as Lesney was going all garish to compete with Hot Wheels. Now the green color may seem a bit bright as people seem to think all cars were painted black back then. But they were actually quite colorful. Even the Model T wasn't available in black for several years.
    The Simplex cars seemed to be still yet another luxury car. The company lasted until 1917. I believe there were over 30,000 car companies at one time and not many survived.

      Cool, although I'm pretty sure the colour scheme was not used in 1912.
      Never know though! Someone might have been a lair.

      Thank you very much Newfld. Not quite as bright in person.

      Thank you very much racer4four. I shall look up the Nethercuttt collection.
