Solido ~ Aston Martin 3L DBR1 ~ # 107

  The classic British sports car,  the DBR1  3L  from Aston Martin.  Made by Solido in 1959-1968,  features cast body,  gray or black chassis, plastic windshield, interior details and driver,  turned hubs,  tires,  suspension, big or small racing number decal,  painted grille,  silver headlights.   According to my info released in 3 colors,  Red, Yellow,  and Green.  The racing cars just look so much better with a driver in them to me.  I'm sure this particular model was involved in many races during its days,  some little damage,  but happy to know it provided hours of entertainment,  and might have won a race or two !

  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 !
