Make: Don Carmelo Toys |
Scale: 1:20 |
Since 2005 a small series of very simple 1:20 miniatures with a length of 220 mm - called Don Carmelo Toys - are being made in Argentina. The seller says these Volvos are produced with old matrices from the sixties. The plastic foil made car bodies and undersides of the Don Carmelo Toys are glued together. There are two variations of the bottoms plates, one of them is marked "Volvo" and has a better fixing for the axles and the car body. The manufacturer fitted his miniatures with rubber tyres on silver metal wheels. These cars are painted in different colous and colour combinations, the windows are allways painted silver. Don Carmelo Toys are sold in colourful hand made boxes showing a bigger red Volvo P 1800 and a smaller white one and Roger Moore on a red and white printed adhesive label. It's marked: The "Saint's" car, Volvo P 1800, Don Carmelo Toys, Ind. Argentina. Peter 15/03/06 |
