Toys for the big boys
February 18, 2008
Look at this beautiful car. It's the BMW 501, of vintage 1953. The iconic car, hand-built and with a six-cylinder engine, was the first car to be produced by the German company after World War I, and went out of production in 1961.
But, no this is not the real thing. just a miniature in diecast metal (zinc and nickel alloy) in the scale of 1:18, and complete with doors that open and a hood that goes up over the engine (no, before you ask, it's only an impression!).
