Description
A GREAT GIFT FOR THE PERSON WHO LOVES CLASSIC CARS:
Here is the rare, very high quality miniature of the '52 De Soto Fire Dome 8 sedan; nicely factory painted in an original colour using auto-paint; has detailed exterior trim, passenger interior, engine, transmission, drive, frame, suspension, exhaust and fuel tank.
Even though by this time De Soto had been bought by Dodge, De Soto's brand was too popular and reputation too respected to be discontinued: in fact their quality was so good, product line so established and engineering so in-the-game, that De Soto functioned pretty much as its own division within Dodge for years after the initial purchase. This was due in a large part to their development team's improved 8 cylinder engine which was near completion when the purchase occurred. The engine's release under the name of Fire Dome 8 helped keep De Soto distinct because the engine was better than almost anything else then on the road.
This is a 1/43 scale metal and plastic model with opening doors and bonnet. No longer in production, this miniature was made by the Franklin Mint and offered for sale to the public in the late 80's and early 90's. The car is in excellent condition with no missing parts. Last one of these for sale.
I will consider trades for 1/48 scale diecast aircraft, or, 1/50 and 1/43 scale Solido, Polistil, Dinky and Corgi pieces.
I also have 1/18, 1/24, 1/25, 1/32, 1/36, 1/43, 1/48 and 1/50 scale cars and trucks for sale at various prices, some loose and some in their original box, made by different manufacturers. So, if you're looking for a replica of a particular vehicle, ask, I may have it for sale.
