Nothin like a wagon ! Haul a piano, deliver some tires to the slot racing team, and cart away a ton of gravel from the construction site when no one is looking ;) Sadly this 1909 Ford has run into a little mechanical trouble, so our mechanic "Mike Fixit" will have a look, just as the racing team was expecting the new tires to be delivered ! Love the heavy feel of these Ziss models, nice attention to the front suspension, as opposed to typical wire for axle. Made in Germany ~ Auf Wiedersehen

Ziss ~ 1905 N.A.G. Touren Sport ~ # 38
N.A.G. ~ What was it, well, the abbreviation stood for "Nationale Automobil-Gesellschaft" a Berlin based car company, which produced an engine capable of revving to 3000 rpm in 1908 ! They were founded in 1901, and were merged with Bussing 1934, making armored cars during the war. This model made by Ziss in Western Germany, is a really nice example with a good amount of detail, and is made with "heavy" diecast, really feels like you've got something. The model was released in 1966, and features a very different looking radiator shape. I like it ! Danke !

Ziss ~ 1907 Ford Model T Roadster ~
From Germany With Love ! First Ziss in our collection ! Made in West Germany, This 1907 Model T Roadster is a very attractive model. I draw your attention to the simulated front axle and simple suspension detail, which is a great improvement over some other makes that just have a rod axle ! They also have a nice "feel", good weight to them. I'll certainly be on the lookout for more Ziss models.
