Jo-Han - Assembly kit (2) Space Age - Rare Plymouths – 1:25

Two American Classics. One legendary die-cast model manufacturer. And a boon for the serious collector. A special duo from the now legendary USA Oldies series by Jo-Han. Two original American vintage model kits of the Plymouth Station Wagon from 1960 and the Plymouth Fury Hardtop from 1962. Individually already interesting items, but here offered together in one exceptionally attractive lot. Jo-Han had something that other model manufacturers often lacked. An eye for cars that fell outside the usual offerings. Not an endless line of sports cars and muscle cars, but also imposing American station wagons, stately sedans and models that other manufacturers hardly released. It is precisely this special choice that has given Jo-Han its own reputation among collectors. The USA Oldies series from the seventies brought several classic American models back into the spotlight. With Jo-Han's disappearance and a large part of the original production molds, these issues now belong to a closed chapter in American model building history. And that is exactly why original, complete copies are so interesting. 1. Jo-Han 1960 Plymouth Station Wagon Model number C-4560 | Scale 1:25 What a spectacle! An impressive American station wagon from 1960, with its elongated bodywork, characteristic tail fins, generous chrome accents and classic American styling. The original box shows the Plymouth in a gorgeous wood-grain finish, depicted against a bright green backdrop. American vintage design at its best. This model belongs to the special four-door station wagons that set Jo-Han apart from the competition. A variant that occupies a very own place within the historical American model building. The complete set contains the original body, chassis, interior, wheels, chromed parts, transparent parts and original building instructions. 2. Jo-Han 1962 Plymouth Fury Hardtop Model number C-3562 | Scale 1:25 A totally different character, but just as attractive. The 1962 Plymouth Fury Hardtop represents the transition to a new generation of American car design. A striking two-door hardtop with a bold front end, refined chrome details and a pronounced sixties silhouette. The original packaging is a delight for collectors. The white Plymouth against the deep red background, combined with the recognizable Jo-Han USA Oldies logo, gives the box a timeless vintage look. Also this set is 100% complete, with original body, chassis, interior, wheels, transparent parts, chrome parts and original building instructions. Condition Exceptionally well-preserved vintage model kits, 100% complete and with undamaged parts. Both models have not yet been fully assembled. The original parts are present and, according to check, in excellent condition. The original building instructions are also preserved. Particularly attractive is the condition of the original packaging. Both boxes retain their beautiful, colorful illustrations and present themselves, given their age, in excellent vintage condition. There are authentic signs of aging, including localized edge and corner wear. For the Station Wagon there is a slight wear visible on one corner. The boxes are intact and the contents have been carefully preserved. For collectors, preserving the original boxes, instructions and complete parts provides a substantial added value. Two original Jo-Han classics that have stood the test of time beautifully. The photos form an integral part of the description and show the condition, the original packaging and the complete contents of both building sets.

Two original Jo-Han USA Oldies releases, coming from a manufacturer that has long since disappeared from the regular model-building landscape. The Plymouth Station Wagon represents the distinctive models Jo-Han became famous for. The Plymouth Fury adds a distinctly American hardtop to that. Two different body styles, two classic model years and two beautiful examples of historical American model building. The original boxes are moreover particularly suitable for display in a collection of vintage model building, Americana, classic automobilia, or a garage with a love for American automotive history. Individually these are sought-after models. Together they form an attractive and challenging duo to reassemble. A boon for collectors who appreciate original Jo-Han releases and value completeness, authenticity and exceptionally well-preserved vintage copies.
