As well, the hubcaps under the wire wheels had red centers on the 1955, not white which is correct for the 1956

Ben, The only other new release I know of from is from 2009 & is the Model Power release of the Mark II in 1/87. It’s already cataloged on my Mark II scale model webpage.

Sorry Tom for the late replay. yes, there is a photo of it on the collectible memorabilia page:

There is no indication on the globe as to who made it other than “Made in China” on a standard gold colored oval label.

Hi,
do you happen to have a picture of the snowglobe or know who makes it?

Yes, It came out in the late 70s, early 80s in several different colors, with or without a hardtop. One of the first models marketed for the collector.

Have added much more to the page. Have also come across a very good article by Hans-Peter Maerker on the Wiking Ford Continental. I have translated it and learned even more about the Wiking models. An interesting study as Wiking built the model for 24 years and made several small changes over the years. I have been lucky to procure samples of each change.
