F500 Ferrari Model

A terrific 1950’s model Ferrari F500 F2:
During the 1952 season Alberto Ascari and his Ferrari F500 F2 were in a class of their own, he dominated the world championship, winning every race that year. Over 1952 and 1953 he took nine straight Grand Prix victories and it was not until the middle of 1953 that he lost a race. He still, however, went on to retain the championship in 1953.

In order to celebrate Ferrari and Ascari’s achievements, in 1953 the Italian company Toschi teamed up with Ferrari. They commissioned the model makers Marchesini (Marchesini Luigi Bologna – M.L.B.), to build a 1:6 scale model of the F500.
