This auction is for the pictured 1:18 1959 Metropolitan diecast. It was commissioned by Diecast Direct in 2003. There were only 504 of this version produced. The model has never been displayed outside the box and so has never been removed from the base. The shipping strap around the doors and top was removed. Since the top does not snap in place it will be shipped off the model, separate in the shipping box. Convertible top boot is visible in plastic bag under the car, never opened. It comes from a smoke free pet free but not dust free home. The window box shows no damage but does have signs of being dusted off. Only other deviation from perfect condition is one of the pegs holding display canopy in place is chipped (see pics).
