Made for discriminating collectors, Rio 1:43 scale die cast models are among the finest automotive miniatures in the world. Hand painted and assembled from dozens of parts by skilled Italian craftsmen, each has a level of quality and detail previously unseen in such a diminutive size. You?ll marvel at the smoothness of the multi-layer paint, the shine of the simulated brass and chrome, the realism of the simulated wood grain and leather, and the precision of the photo-etched metal detail parts. The only thing more amazing than the cars themselves is the breadth of automotive history they represent!
Created as a retort to Chevrolet?s new Corvette, the first-generation Ford Thunderbird was an instant hit, with 3,500 units sold in its first ten days. This model of the two-seat ?personal luxury tourer? includes the distinctive, externally mounted spare tire, which was placed there only in 1956, the car?s second model year.
