1893 Duryea
| 1893 Duryea • A compelling tribute to American ingenuity. • Created with the cooperation of the Smithsonian Institution. • A Franklin Mint first! The leather-like convertible top opens and closes. • A painstakingly researched model masterpiece in impressive 1:8 scale. • Hand-assembled from 350 historically accurate parts. • Astonishing array of operable features. • A prestigious addition to any important collection. Own a true collector's item -- a die-cast model that signifies the ingenuity of Charles E. and J. Frank Duryea, two American masterminds who, in 1893, pioneered one of America's first gasoline-powered automobiles. Dubbed the "Motor Carriage," their innovation marked the dawn of a new era in transportation. Your 1893 Duryea is an unparalleled re-creation based meticulously on the original automobile now housed in the collections of the Smithsonian Institution. It boasts operating features never before achieved in model-making: functional pulley, rotating flywheels, sliding pistons and a full complement of operable chains and belts. It sports the unique trademarked "corncob" tiller. And like the original 1893 Duryea, its convertible top opens and closes. As remarkable as your collection aspires to be. |
