Stunning. Yes, that will do nicely. Stunning, in black.

The subject of this adoration is this extremely rare hand-built limited-edition piece from the studio of Carlo Brianza / A.B.C. Brianza in Italy; a 1:16 model of the one-off 1930 Mercedes-Benz SSK built for Count Carlo Felice Trossi.

There’s a choice to be made in collectible diecast models. On one side, there’s the delicacy and intimacy of small replicas, that in-your-palm feel that so many collectors adore. On the other is the heft and hand feel of a big, substantial piece; one that offers up its magic in hefty helpings. Danbury Mint’s 1930 Cadillac V16 Roadster is one such model.
