![]() Today's car of the day is Penny's 1967 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: Alfa Romeo 2600 ![]() ![]() Not that I own very many to compare this with, but this Alfa is tied with the Maserati as my favorite Penny model. What more needs to be said that isn't evident in the pictures? As for the selection, I didn't realize I had pulled two 1967 model year cars for this week until everything was already set to go. Oh well, we will all get through it. ![]()

And I know where my vote is going this week. I'm up to 8 or 9 Penny's so far and I can't get enough of them. I have the police version of this one but really want the stock one in blue. Most of it comes down to model choice as to why they have become my favorite vintage brand, but they are exceptionally well done and impressively accurate even by today's standards. |

The Polistil Penny models always amaze me after all these years - so nicely made with the jeweled lights, opening doors and nice details - and these were made in the '60's. I still have a number of them in my collection (although they too, probably some day will be part of my downsizing efforts). And these were sold in the US. Almost all of mine came from stores in the State of Washington - a department store toy dept. - anyone remember those? And a hobby store. Just on great looks and a blast from the past -this one is the top runner for my vote this week.
