1:43 scale Pilen M301 Corvair Monza Gt. Both have original plastic cases. Made in Spain. Earlier version with cast metal wheels and rubber tires, later version has molded plastic wheels/tires. Roof canopy opens forward to allow entry. Seen models with plastic side windows next to rear engine, and some without. Car also available in a red/white colour combination and possibly other colours as well. Bronze colour is beautiful in daylight and would love it on my actual car. Reminds me of General Motors 1972 colour. Pretend you don't see Corgi Ecurie Ecosse in third picture, as it will be a future posting. :)
I like the Bertone influence. I think the Italian touch generally improved most cars!
I agree racer4four. Italian design in many objects has always been exciting. I am quite passionate on 50's and 60's Italian car design. Art on wheels. Interior design, whether furniture for your home, or auto interiors is beautifully crafted, which is a good segway to my next post. Thanks for the comment.
