Here is a vintage, 1940's, hard to find in this great condition, Schuco Studio 1050 in Near Mint condition. This is probably the closest to mint I have ever seen in this vintage! Shuco Introduced this model in 1936 based on the Mercedes "Silver Arrow" Grand Prix Racer. Made in US Zone Germany. No play wear!! The pale lime green body is shiny & practically flawless, with no scratches or dents, except only a tiny chip in green paint at the very tip of the rear boat tail, & a couple of tiny scratches on the black base plate if you look real hard! & a little rubbing on the #2 emblem. The correct tires are in amazing condition!, without cracks or flat spots or any deformity & still pliable, with "Schuco - Cord - Patent - Ballon" on the sidewalls. Very rare condition for the age. Reversible metal wheels with red spokes on one side & blue spokes on the other. Mechanically perfect. It winds up with the Schuco crank key & runs strong. It steers by the steering wheel. The red rubber wheel on bottom is intact & works to wind it also, but I would not want to put any stress on it! It is of course about 70 years old! The working differential gear is visible through the opening in the base plate, and the gearing on the rack & pinion steering. Included is the instruction sheet which is printed in German, in excellent condition, with one tiny tear
