    Found this neat old Casadio model in a junk store in Anchorage for $11.50 and
    brought it home for my garage.

    Hoping someone here can provide more info - is it an Alfa? Not sure - I don't know
    the "old cars" all that well. Construction sure is robust! It weighs about 2 pounds,
    and is extremely well built. The fact it's rough really doesn't detract from it's
    appeal just to look at.

    Any info would be appreciated!

    Looks like the 1939 Mercedes-Benz W163/W154 to me.

    Cool! As I said - I really don't know cars of that era other than they're COOL!

    Nope - that's what was there - still cool though. FUN to see in person - very
    intricate and BEEFY in construction - I understand they were kits??

    Don't know - it's 9" long. 1/20th maybe?? 1/18?

    Thank you! I thought so for $11.50 and no sales tax!
