I had never heard of Neo, but back in 2007 or '08 Dick Browne posted pics of his model. I loved the two-tone metallic greens and the various styling tweaks PF did to the stodgy M-B 300. Recently I took pics of mine.

Love the two-tone (and hubcaps) on that Merfarina! 😍 

My first Neo, a few years later... an Alfetta 2000.

It's a great looking car and '55 Mercedes-Benz. The two-tone color is just beautiful and it clearly makes for a really superb model. It certainly can be a centerpiece and star of anyone's display and the combination of M-B and Pininfarina certainly is a winner here for sure ! It is probably long out of production. (both the 1:1 and 1/43)

I got mine like Harv did, after Dick Brown introduced them. I wonder how many of us learned about Neo from Dick?
