You Experts call yourselves AutoPuzzlers?!

I don't know what is it, but one thing is strange: it looks a bit rusty. Now, die-cast models are made in zamak, that has a different type of oxidation. Is it perhaps in cast-iron? That would be unusual for a scale model...

This one's not metal, the reddish color shows where the paint is absent.

So, rubber?
And is actually the material the unusual thing of this model?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #5 on:** September 03, 2010, 04:35:28 AM »

No, not rubber. The material type is fairly common in the world of model and toy cars.

The unusual thing is not the material.

Forbidden zone, Allemano (I know it's tempting).

Arrrrggh didn't see, thanks Ray!

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #9 on:** September 12, 2010, 04:54:32 AM »

Open now to Allemano (and all)

Allemano · « **Reply #10 on:** September 14, 2010, 01:08:15 PM »

okay I repeat: witness of a historical event or of a catastrophe?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #11 on:** September 15, 2010, 04:41:39 AM »

I'm sorry - I thought you said ">>>deleted<<<" in your previous post.

Was this toy in an historical event / catastrophe? No, I don't think it was.

Is the unusual thing the place?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #13 on:** September 16, 2010, 05:45:48 AM »

No sir. It's the toy, and what it, on a smaller scale, mimics.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #14 on:** September 18, 2010, 05:35:49 AM »

The path to the answer, if you concentrate on the photo, is clearly visible.

It has nothing to do with Wendy's hamburgers.

Ray B. · « **Reply #15 on:** September 19, 2010, 12:42:49 PM »

It's got pedals? (quite unusual in a model car this size). And if this is the point, it makes the car (a one-seater) an automatic.

That's not it, but a bit closer to correct!

Locked for 24 hours

24 hrs have gone. The 2 pedals are the same shape and size. Are they both brake pedals? Perhaps it's a weird driving school car?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #18 on:** September 21, 2010, 03:16:48 AM »

Not brake pedals (but they are the same size); not a driving school car.

24 lock is now yours

guido66 · « **Reply #19 on:** September 21, 2010, 03:31:42 AM »

Are they Ford model T style gear change pedals?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #20 on:** September 21, 2010, 04:02:10 AM »

No, not that complex.

(Oops, I forgot the lock)

guido66 · « **Reply #22 on:** September 21, 2010, 06:26:22 AM »

I have no idea at the moment, so you can post again, Ray

Ray B. · « **Reply #23 on:** September 21, 2010, 06:30:07 AM »

Thanks, very fair.
A very thin idea is all I have: is it supposed to mimick a Jeep?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #24 on:** September 21, 2010, 06:34:43 AM »

Is it working? I mean pedals and steering wheel.
