![]() Today's car of the day is Grell's 1970 Moskvitch 412. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: Moskvitch 412 ![]() ![]() Probably not too surprising, but this is the first time a Moskvitch car has been featured as COTD. I'm skeptical any others exist in small scale. Moskvitch is yet another car marque that would be absent from small scale were it not for Grell. While the tail light coloring looks like something I would have added, they are factory stock, from Grell. (Had I done them, they would be a brighter shade of red! )![]()

Such a nice offering from Grell - so neat to see eastern European cars available in small scale. These Grell models are very dangerous! When they first came out I was happily adding them to my collection via a collector in Europe. But in the midst of that great fun came the reality that I needed to make some changes in my collecting habits and, outside of the emergency models, the others went to other homes and garages.

Grell sure does make a lot of cars I've never seen or ever heard before. They do have a special charm to them

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

I don't think I ever was able to add this one to the collection. It's been at least a decade since the last time I added a lot of Grells so I'd have to double-check (unless it's come out since then). Regardless, if I don't have it, I most definitely want one... |

I like small (1:1) cars, but this looks like it would be too small for me. And they call it a "family car"... |

I'd gladly take this over the 1:1. The real cars were horrible pieces of junk. |
