Rio ~ Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8A ~ 1926

  Bella Italia !   Off to Italy this week,  and what a model from Rio.  Nothing beats these Rios' in my opinion,  for the look,  for class, the quality in paint,  and the detail.  Made in Italy. Pictures are worth more than my words !  
Molto Bello !   Ciao !

Eligor ~ 1927 Renault Torpedo ~ # 1041

  Another nice example from Eligor !  A recent discovery of mine is just how good some of their models actually are !  A nice simple 1920s Renault will take a prominent parking place in my classic French Voiture Collection.

Eligor ~ 1937 Panhard Dynamic Berline

 Beauté classique !  A model from Eligor this week -  Made in France.  Very impressed with this model,  never thought much about Eligor until seeing this !   Now hoping some of their other range of models look as impressive !   Nothing too amazing,  but they captured the look,  and the paint job is quite good,  the red wheels really set this one off nicely ! Such an attractive style.
