Franklin Mint 1:24 1967 Volkswagen Beetle - Flower Power

  Franklin Mint 1:24 1967 Volkswagen Beetle - Flower Power diecast car
 
 
 

Here's a little bit of whimsy from the folks at FM - a VW Bug that evokes the hip era of Haight-Ashbury and the flower children. FM says that no two cars are alike, as each is hand painted a different color. Some purists are grousing about this model, but I think it will get more raves from my visitors than many of the "mainstream" cars I display. The various flowers, peace signs and other "trim" are actually decals, and I was not happy with their application since they are so obvious, somewhat like the decal on the sides of the "Ultimate Sportsman's Truck." A little burnishng helps eliminate part of the problem. (11/29/97)

The 'Bug' was issued with five different body colors: orange, pink, blue, green, and yellow! The issue price is $90.
