Something different...Penny Lancia Flavia Zagato Sport...the name just rolls off the tongue.
Quirky brand, quirky name, quirky car, but somehow it's still cool!!! Enjoy!

This is one (or actually two!) that I need. It just needs some silver Sharpie headlights, and it's ready for prime time!

:D Then I won't tell you what I have down in my basement, Dean. The Polistil Penny models were neat stuff for diecast from the '60's. And they were sold in the US. I know of at least two stores that carried them - most of mine came from a department store toy dept. in Spokane, WA. Also found them in a hobby shop in Pasco, WA.

Wow, that's nice! Just the kind of car I'd give a home to if I ran across one. Even if some repairs were needed.

Support your local demo derby.

Pretty funky appearing back side glass design. Diecast of the world is something that's lacking in our hobby for the most part right now.

Awesome diecast! Never saw these before!

And John...I'd love to see what's still in your basement. Are you sure you're not living over a mothballed missile silo? You must have a basement bigger than any house I've ever lived in!

You know how they say California is so great?
Well, they're wrong.
It sucks because we don't have basements.
You guys with basements are so lucky! :toy: :lol:

Looks like an Italian AMC Gremlin. Two beautiful examples (of a fairly ugly car), and the box too! I'd love to see your basement! No basements here in Florida either. I sure could use the extra room of a basement at least, and I'd be able to paint down there whenever the weather doesn't cooperate.

Not much to the setup really...the backdrop is the packaging from an EFE truck and the road and sidewalk are Matchbox.
