This is the Maserati Tipo 61 Birdcage #66 Winner SCCA Continental Divide Race June 1960 in 1:18 scale by CMC.

The Maserati Tipo 61 "Birdcage," car #66, secured victory at the SCCA Continental Divide Race in June 1960, showcasing its revolutionary lightweight chassis and impressive handling. This race, held at the Continental Divide Raceway in Colorado, was known for its high-altitude challenges and demanding corners, favoring the agility of the Birdcage design. The car's intricate tubular spaceframe construction provided exceptional rigidity while keeping weight to a minimum, giving it an edge over larger, more powerful competitors.
