Ciao Everyone !
Sorry for the extended absence from our weekly model of the week, summertime and all jobs - I mean "vacations" - associated with this time of the year has kept me away from updating the blog.
Don't forget CARS now has its own Youtube Channel, which will be updated as often as I can possibly get to it. "CARS ~ Diecast Models"
Now for a classic Racer ! Made in Italy 1969, the beautiful Ferrari P4 prototype from Mercury. This particular model is # 19, not sure of how many different variants they produced over the years. Features opening doors and engine cover, silver mirrors and windshield wiper, plastic headlights and engine cover. All I need now is a Solido Ford GT !
Nice little sedan this week from Mercury. Released in 1964, features cast body, silver chassis-bumpers, plastic interior, clear windows (sort of :) unpainted hubs, black tires, suspension, silver grille and lights. Came in 3 different colors, Ivory, Red, Light Green. Mercury is right up there with my favorites as they have a certain "style" to all their models. Nice weight, good body shapes, and okay detail. Just wish they were a little easier to find and of course cost a few Lire less !
Another Italian beauty this week, this time from Mercury. Love these models from Mercury, they have such a distinctive look to them, like an artist has "painted" each model. This one features opening doors and an opening engine cover. Such a classic body shape !
