These are two new fantastic 1:43rds from a new maker, Officina 942 - their very first 1:43rds.  They are nice diecast castings (made in Italy) but with a retro 1950s look and feel to them.  The O-ring tires add to that effect, I think.  I just rereviewed these two Fiats in MAR Onlinehttps://www.maronline.org.uk/two-new-fiat-race-cars-from-the-1920s/

They look really good and it is always very nice to see a new maker in the hobby. I think from about this same era but in a somewhat similar smaller scale, I have a Models of Yesteryear racing Bugatti.

Yes, that is it, Karl ! I still have it from so many decades ago and it is still a sleek and good-looking MoY automobile. My Dad got a full-size reproduction for a client many years ago, too.
