For those looking for that unique collector piece, CMC is offering a limited 1:18 Mercedes-Benz SSK Trossi 1932 “Black Prince”. In addition to the model, the package includes the book CMC 25 Years and the gold-plated anniversary coin. Price, well north of $1000 CND.
Product# S-017
The feature that sets this version apart from the normal edition in terms of the model itself is the golden leather on the seats and door trim. The historically correct normal version will be black.
Seriously? Gold interior? When did Count Trossi start pimping his ride?
CMC- I love the models and have quite a few, but THAT is a seriously obnoxious and ridiculous thing to do.
“When did Count Trossi start pimping his ride?” Well, to be fair, he actually did right after buying chassis and engine when he had Willie White make this unique body that is so different from other SSK. That may well count as “pimping” in today´s language. And even though a gold interior is an idea that could have been a brainchild of the roaring 1920´s, it disagrees with my sense of taste as much as yours. Above all, though, it´s historically incorrect.
This edition is more for a CMC themed collection, probably a “box queen” never to leave its original packaging, too valuable to be exposed on display.
All good points. But, that interior. . .
You like it ???
Not this. The authentic Black Prince is beautiful. This is ridiculous.
Ok, anything else wouldn´t sound much like you, so I was wondering.
I always stick to an authentic representation!
