Mercury Art.2 Fiat 1800 Heruitgave

The Mercury Fiat 1800, item number Art. 2, is a reissue of one of the first models released by the Italian brand in the early 1960s. Originally produced in Mercury's early years, this model marks a significant moment in the history of the Italian diecast industry.

The real Fiat 1800 was introduced in 1959 as a luxury mid-size sedan. Intended as a successor to the Fiat 1900, it was positioned as a comfortable family car with a modern design for its time. The Fiat 1800 was known for its spacious interior, smooth six-cylinder engine, and sleek lines—all characteristics that Mercury painstakingly reproduced in miniature form.

Founded in Italy in 1945, Mercury was one of the pioneers of European model car manufacturing. Unlike many British or French competitors, Mercury focused primarily on the Italian car market, producing models from Fiat, Lancia, Alfa Romeo, and Ferrari. The original Art. The Fiat 1800 was one of the first models in their catalog and appeared in various colors, often with a simple but solid diecast metal body and metal wheels.

The reissue of this model pays tribute to the craftsmanship of early Mercury production.

Although the finish is simpler than later diecast models, this reissue is faithful to the look of the original, making it a popular piece among collectors of Italian miniatures or early European model cars.

A beautiful reissue of a historic model, perfect for collectors who want to cherish Italian model car history. This is not just a miniature; it's a piece of heritage cast in metal.
