 DESCRIPTION

Lone Star's wonderful Impy Roadmasters were first produced in 1966. The first-generation Impy models are the best and can be identified by their gem-like headlights and regular wheels. This is a second-generation car without the gem headlights and with 'Flyer' wheels. Few 'fin-tailed' Mercedes have been produced in 1:64 scale and this 220E is unique. Impy's Lone Star diecast are wonderfully detailed with opening doors, hood and trunk, and realistic engine detail. This example is in excellent condition and a rare find.
