Designed for both children and adults, Clarín launches the second part of its edition Classic Collector Carsa compilation of scale models that will reach the hearts of iron fans. It is now available in all kiosks or in the store online.

It is a collection of 8 classic models that, due to their characteristics, have transcended time and space and today, forty, fifty or ninety years after being created, continue to arouse admiration.

A unique opportunity to have scale replicas of these emblematic models. Many of them, with a historic relationship with the national industry and Argentine society.

There are 8 new models that complete the previous collection. They have friction, door opening and have steel and plastic finishes with great detail.

Along with the delivery of each model, a booklet with full-color images of the different models is delivered. The pages of each of these fascicles They tell the history of the car in detailcome with a complete technical sheet with explanations about their design, manufacturing, the creators and their different versions and evolutions.

Among the cars in the collection appears the Fiat 600which will be delivered with two versions: one in white and another in yellow. These are colors that the Italian brand’s model offered in our market while it was marketed.

The Fiat 600 was very popular. Its affordable price allowed many people to fulfill the dream of having their first 0km, although it also had many other aspects: it was women’s favorite car, the one that young people almost always used to learn to drive and, in its glory years , one of the favorites of the world of jet-setting and also of cinema, since he knew how to be the protagonist of many Argentine films.

Its launch was the beginning of a rich history of Fiat producing vehicles in the country. A story that lasted precisely 22 years, in which 300,000 units were manufactured.

Another popular model that makes up the collection is the Citroën 2CV, another ally of the Argentine middle class. In this delivery it appears with two configurations: the passenger and the van.

During its more than 40 years of life (1949-1990) 5,114,969 units were manufactured, including 1,246,335 utility versions. The last copy left the Portuguese Mangualde plant on July 27, 1990, 42 years after its launch.

The 2CV was so popular that it was produced in 15 countries spread over four continents. In Argentina, where it also became an icon, it was manufactured between 1960 and 1979 with the peculiarity that from 1972 it was renamed 3CV.

The Volkswagen Beetle is also part of this collection, the “people’s car”responsible for the German Miracle in the recovery after the Second War.

In total, between December 27, 1945 – when series production began in Germany – and July 30, 2003, 21,529,464 units of this model were manufactured, which was a cultural symbol throughout the world and is synonymous with the automobile word.

Among the sports cars in the collection is the Ford Mustang, the best-selling sports model in the world and an undisputed icon of the American automotive industry.

On April 17, 1964, Ford put its new Mustang model on sale. The launch price in the United States was $2,368, a really low value for the time. And the result was overwhelming: 400,000 units in the first year and one million accumulated in the first two years.

What came after finished cementing the legend that it became: sportier and spicier versions, participation in competitions and Hollywood cinematic chases.

Another emblem of the American automotive industry is the Chevrolet Corvettewhich is still in force and has just built the fastest version in its history.

This historic coupe was born in 1953 and is currently in its eighth generation, an edition that generated one of the most important changes in its history by adopting a rear mid-engine configuration.

The collection closes on Mercedes-Benz 230 SLpopularly known as “Pagoda”, which was another unforgettable car and last year marked the 60th anniversary of its appearance.

Launched in March 1963 at the Geneva Motor Show, it immediately became an object of desire, taking away the sleep of an entire generation of young people who synthesized many of their aspirations in this sports car.
