Added this one today. I wanted to branch out to another company and it seems the Italian company is what I've been setting my sights on. ![]() Detail is fantastic. ![]() Mercury quit manufacturing 29 years ago so this may be a hard collection to try to piece together, but I love the chase. This arrived from Italy today and I'm the second owner. The original owner etched his intials on the base to prevent theft as a boy. He is admittingly not a collector. But it has a home now here in the US. If anyone has anymore info on the Mercury company I would like to learn as much as I can. This model isnt 1:64 which is what my focus is on. But its not 1:43 either. I believe these were built in 1:66 scale. Pics of the Chapperal will follow. Sorry for the bad picture, new camera and still cant get the lighting right. |

We have a thread with camera/picture tips here: http://swiftysgarage.net/topic/386165/1/ Oh my gosh, that's fantastic looking! I love the details! Opening doors and a removable engine cover, and to think- this was made in the '60s! ![]() Thank you for the pics! |
