DIECAST MODELS BY CMC
In the beginning of the
year 1938 the racing team of Auto Union had to face
a difficult situation: The contract with Ferdinand
Porsche was cancelled, and Bernd Rosemeyer was
killed in an accident in January trying to break
the speed world record.
Eberan von Eberhorst replaced Ferdinand Porsche as
designer. And “Il Diavolo“ Tazio Nuvolari could be
won as successor for the national hero Rosemeyer.
The “Flying man from Mantua” who got his nicknames
due to his spectacular style of driving won the
Grand Prix of Italy and England in an Auto Union
Type D in 1938.
In the following year Auto Union gained a double
victory in Reims withe the drivers H.P. Müller and
Schorsch Meier despite the tough competition of the
Mercedes Silver Arrows. And Nuvolari gained the
last Grand Prix before the Second World War with an
Auto Union Type D in Belgrad on the 3rd of
September in 1939.
The Auto Union Type D
newly defines modeling: more than 680 parts, each
hand assembled, make it a collectors item par
excellence. The paint of the body is of first class
quality. It gives the car an excellent brilliance
that is unpralleled in modeling.
