This is the 1930 Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8A SS Castagna ch.1578 Cabriolet Closed Black Beige in 1:43 scale by Kess.
The 1930 Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8A SS Castagna Cabriolet (chassis 1651) was a masterpiece of Italian luxury and design, epitomizing the height of bespoke craftsmanship in the pre-war automotive era. Powered by a colossal 7.4-liter straight-eight engine, the Tipo 8A SS was one of the most powerful and opulent cars of its time, producing a staggering 160 horsepower—unmatched by most competitors. What truly set this example apart was its bodywork by Carrozzeria Castagna, featuring elegant, flowing lines and unparalleled attention to detail. The combination of exceptional engineering, exclusive materials, and its status as a preferred choice for royalty and Hollywood elites made it a symbol of sophistication and automotive artistry, rivaling even the likes of Duesenberg and Rolls-Royce.
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.
