REPLICA OF THE JAPANESE EMPEROR HIROHITO'S CAR

This is a diecast model of a 1935 Mercedes Type 770. It is a 1/24th scale replica of the Japanese Emperor's personal car, NOT the Chinese Emperor's, and is number 712 out of a total of 1,000 units made. The model was made by Xonex International and is realistic in so many ways. Rubber tires whose front tires turn, opening doors, hood detaches from car body among many features. Thanks very much for viewing this rare and unique diecast model.

@tosherification Yeah, as a history buff I shoulda known better. This extremely detailed model is just the cat's meow. And I'm glad U enjoyed it. Happy Holidays to you also and many thanks.

Lovely car but you are incorrect. This was the car of Emperor Hirohito of Japan. Pu Yi's car was a Cadillac similar in color. The chrysanthemum was the sympol of the Japanese Emperors, not the Chinese. Sorry.

@tosherification You are correct! As a history buff I should have known better. Description on box was incorrect & never gave another thought. Chrysanthemum was the symble of Japanese Emporerors. Just yesterday on the Military Channel I saw old footage of Emp. Hiro riding in his car and it was exactly like this. I thought, man that looks like my model. duh! Thanks for pointing this mistake.

Very nice model. Is the manufacturer Xomex or Xonex? The 1:1 scale is in the Mercedes in Stuttgart.

@cheddyrod It is Xonex. Thats the trouble with M and N being next to each other on the keyboard. I guess the example in Stuttgart may have been the basis for producing this model. I'm lucky I finally acquired this after passing it up the first time I saw it. Thanks for enjoying this model.

@mrcaymanislands1 One of my best diecast models for sure. Glad you enjoyed it. And to think that I passed this up the first time I saw it and then over a year later, there it was waiting for me!
