The original model, produced between 1937 and 1957, featured a unibody construction and front-wheel drive. This COBI set contains 1,900 high-quality elements and builds a large-scale model at approximately 1:12 scale, resulting in a finished length of around 37 cm. The finished model includes spinning wheels, opening doors, a working steering wheel, a tilting hood, an opening trunk, a brick-built engine and detailed interior elements. The set is produced in Poland and is intended for builders aged 10 and up.
