This is the Mercedes 500K Cabriolet A 1936 sn130897 Original Car 2 Tones Green Opened Top in 1:43 scale by Ilario.
The 1936 Mercedes-Benz 500K Cabriolet A, chassis number 130897, exemplifies the zenith of pre-war automotive luxury and performance. As part of the 500K series produced between 1934 and 1936, it features a 5.0-liter inline-eight engine equipped with a Roots supercharger, delivering up to 160 horsepower. This power enables the vehicle to achieve speeds exceeding 160 km/h (100 mph), a remarkable feat for its era. Notably, the Cabriolet A variant boasts a shorter wheelbase of 2,980 mm, enhancing its agility and sportiness compared to the longer "B" and "C" variants. Advanced features for its time include independent suspension with double wishbone front axles and double-joint swing axles at the rear, providing superior ride comfort and handling. Additionally, the 500K was among the first to offer hydraulic brakes and a 12-volt electrical system, underscoring Mercedes-Benz's commitment to innovation and luxury.
Excellent quality and finish. Beautifully crafted and exquisitely detailed. Models are hand
painted, decorated and assembled. Beautiful detail and accuracy of shape and scale. Photo
etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are also used. Each model
comes with its own acrylic display case.
