This VW Steyr (1939) Resin Model Car is Cream and features comes in a display case. It is made by Autocult and is 1:43 scale (approx. 9cm / 3.5in long). The "marriage" of a Steyr Type 50 or 55 car body with a Volkswagen Kubelwagen chassis remains a mystery of automotive history.
It might well be that this conversion came privately into being in the years beyond 1940. But it is also quite possible that clever technicians set about realizing the car not until 1945. The fusion was feasible as both the Kubelwagen (Type 82) and the Steyr Type 50 or 55; also known colloquially as the "Steyr-Baby"; had almost the same wheelbase. The adjustment of additional air inlets at the rear together with an afterwards installed hood for the air-cooled boxer rear engine - imply a high technical understanding of the constructer.
According to present knowledge - the obvious assumption that the conversion was built under the direction of Ferdinand Porsche - within the scope of his occupation for Volkswagen in the late 1930s - can be ruled out.

Diecast models are manufactured to various scales based on measurements taken from the actual vehicles. The rule to remember is the higher the scale number, the smaller the model!
So, 1:2 scale quite ltierally means it is 1/2 (half) the size and 1:4 scale means it is 1/4 (quarter) the size. Here is a rough guide to the size of our models although this will vary depending on the size of the actual vehicle. Please note that the scale and size of models differs per department. Please refer to the individual product page to find out the estimated size of the actual model you would like to purchase.
