As a boy in the late 1950’s, my father (well mostly my father) and I put together a model of this legendary Grand Prix car driven by one of my racing heroes, Juan Manuel Fangio, to the World Championship in 1956.

I never forgot it and today it remains one of my all-time favorites (I even constructed another model – successfully, a few years later. One I still have!
