#570 Polistil Mini - Citroën 19Ds, Volkswagen Beetle Too Autobianchi Bianchina (Around 1960)

These cars were works life inwards a flea marketplace approximately i yr ago. I immediatly recognised the character of the cars together with decided to purchase them: they are marked APS 1/77 Italy, they correspond real charismatic models from the 50s together with the 60s, together with despite the age, they are inwards real expert shape.

Later, at habitation together with to my surprise, I discovered that the cars were manufactured past times Polistil, together with hence I guess they were intended to live sold for vey petty money, or to live combined alongside electrical trains. I convey likewise read somewhere, that Polistil likewise had some sort of ferry boat to comport many models from this series.
The cars reproduced are pop Italian together with European cars, including many Fiats (500, 600, 600 Multipla, 1100...). The 3 models I ain are:

CITROËN 19DS (French automobile sold from 1955 to 1975)

VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE (German automobile sold from 1938 on inwards several versions)

AUTOBIANCHI BIANCHINA (Italian automobile sold betwixt 1957-1969)

Note that the Bianchina is non real good finished. One of the windows has non been properly done, together with is virtually covered past times plastic. I am non certain if the chassis has likewise been mounted inwards the incorrect direction, banker's complaint that the wheels are non real good centered alongside the body. The other seem to live ok.
These models belong to a real short, real interesting together with real rare series. Maybe because of the plastic, many of the units sold powerfulness convey been destroyed during play (it would live plenty to pace on them) or thown inwards the trash, because their appearance is that of a real inexpensive toy.
