Schuco 450143500 - Porsche No. 1, silber

This is a model of the very first Porsche, the real one is on display at the Porsche museum. Attached a picture of the real number 1, taken when Ajckids visited the Porsche Museum in Zuffenhausen!

When the first 12 models in the Schuco-Piccolo series were launched in 1957 nobody had any idea at that stage that these models would still enjoy immense popularity sixty years later. This is no doubt attributed to the simple, robust and thus charming design of the models, which originally owed their appearance to the new die-cast technology of the time.  Schuco Piccolos still make a good impression today on account of their excellent running qualities and their heavy zinc die-casting design like the Porsche No. 1.
