BB Korn Car in Red color

Description

This shiny, sleek BB Korn Red desktop racer represents both the romance and the dramatic beauty of the most famous Grand Prix racers ever! Its original makers were the famous Dooling Brothers, who manufactured around 1000 units at the time. First, they were offered to aficionados of the famous Dooling spin-dizzies, miniature motorized race cars that reached dizzying speeds. They were closely modeled on the famous Mercedes Silver Arrows of the early 1930s.

Therefore, originals are now rare and highly prized by collectors. Molded with the same exacting detail as its original, our 12.2″ BB Korn Red racer is hand-cast in airplane aluminum. Hand polished and buffed to a high shine, it features a detailed dashboard, faux leather seat, steering wheel and brake. Thus, keeping with its original model-toy character, the front wheels are not linked to the steering wheel. The wheel hubs and rubber tires are made with the same exact detail as the original. So, now you can enjoy a truly unique piece of Grand Prix history.

Surprisingly sophisticated race cars in 1:8 scale raced tethered to a pole or to a chain track in a banked wooden racetrack, reaching speeds in excess of 150 mph…Imagine a corner of the 1939 New York World’s Fair. Therefore, a throng of thousands massing around a mini car-drome where race cars are being prepared for a major race. The scream of the engines fills the air. A mini NASCAR, Le Mans, Nuburgring…An American pastime; technology, cars, excitement! Spindizzies, named for the dizzying speeds they reached, were inspired by full size race cars.
