What did I open today? - part II

Matchbox VW Karmann Ghia Convertible - Purple

The Germans have reached Japan!

Here are a few of my 3" Siku (German Die-cast Car Brand) cars in a Japanese street diorama setup (Tomica Tomy Town Playsets). Most of the car models in this setup are European in make.

Enjoy viewing the photos! =)

Matchbox VW Karmann Ghia Convertible

This was a birthday raok (Random Act of Kindness) from Atty. Elmer Guerzon, a fellow DCPH member. I was having a hard time looking for one at the local toy shops in Manila, he was lucky to spot one when he dropped-by a mall in Pampanga (about an hour drive from Manila).

I believe this was the first time Matchbox produced this model. The sexy curves compliments the details and color of this convertible.

VW Karmann Ghia

Almost all diecast car collectors I have met have Volkswagens in their collections. It's either their main line, a side line or at least they have a few hidden in their display cabinets. I love the classic look of the Beetle and Samba Van but the Karmann Ghia is the most appealing model to me. It combines the classic lines of a Volkswagen and the sexiness of a Porsche.
