description for this vintage car The gorgeous piece is finished with smooth gloss metallic silver paintwork. The exterior features numerous subtle and correct details such as crisp photo-etched metal parts for the Porsche and Spyder scripts, rear engine cover grills, polished and plated metal bezels for the lights, accurate wheels, and two-into-one exhaust pipe. The interior is fully detailed with correct framework, drilled pedals, bent-type gearshift, and hand brake. A correct "banjo" spoke steering wheel frames the detailed dash, complete with gauges and delicate switchgear. There is even a key in the ignition with another dangling from its key ring.

This model is offered from the collection of a renowned expert and rarely does one of these 550s come up for sale, let alone in as outstanding and complete original condition as this example. The model is mounted to its original 24" x 12" wood display base.
