Chevrolet Bel-Air 1957 |
| I think I'm getting a lot less didactic and more mellow about what
models and toys get featured on these web pages. This is made in China,
new, of a make I have never heard yet here it is. It's not a Corgi or a
Dinky, nor is it a fifties original. However it is very smart, nice and
shiny and really well detailed. I've learnt not to be put off by
pull-back motors as they seem to be obligatory and in this one they are
nicely disguised by suitcases in the rear seat. I bought this in Boston Mass in September 2008. I was over there demonstrating my company's wonderful software to a big pharmacy retailer in Rhode Island and took the opportunity to take my wife with me and spend the weekend in Boston, one of the world's great cities and my favourite place in the US. On a sunny Saturday morning we were sitting having breakfast in Quincy Market and I spotted a market stall selling toy cars. I could not pass the opportunity by. I bought this nice old Chevy and a '53 Cadillac - oh and a 65 Mustang key ring.
