The splittin' image strikes again! Or maybe this was the inspiration? It is a Penny car (Polistil of Italy, I presume), so big points in my book for that. But this is certainly one of the more odd looking pieces I've seen from them. I didn't know there was a real car built to look like this, so that does make it a bit more appealing. Very nice, very unusual...thank you for sharing! |

It's a car with split personality. I'm just kidding!

This one always made me think of a space ship zipping on its way to Mars. I have (or had as I may have sold it a while back) this one in my collection of Polistil models. It is an odd looking car but tends to fit the era when a lot of desigers were experimenting with rather exotic and often times wierd looking cars.

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

What class of power boat racing does this one plug into??? Penny's 1967 OSI Alpine Silver Fox 'Bisiluro.' That sure is a mouthful. Sounds like a fishing lure. |

A great little model that was on my wants list for quite a while. It has also been done by TinToys and Speedy, strange that such an odd little car was done by three makers. ![]() ![]() ![]() Rob G. |
