![]() Today's bus of the day is Corgi's 1981 Mercedes 608D Minibus. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real bus (Stock) please visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_Vario, or http://omnibuses.blogspot.com/2007/02/mercedes-608.html. ![]() I got this bus at a rummage sale several summers ago, and it was only recently that I had found out it was in fact my first Corgi to my collection. It always was my airport shuttle from the arrivals to the rental car agency when I was younger. The casting definitely shows it's age, simple lines and washed out details and all. It kind of made for a bus with a lot of character, one I'll never outgrow. ![]()

Beats mine, I have missing wheels, so it is in the to do list for a little upgrade, I was/a, hoping to get a Corgi that is beyond repair but has great wheels but that is harder to find then hen's teeth. |
