Overview
Add a touch of classic French automotive art to your desk, workshop display, or private collection. Handcrafted in the Jura region of France by legendary wooden toy maker Vilac, this Streamline Roadster was styled by celebrated industrial designer Michel Aroutcheff.
Inspired by the sleek, aerodynamic 1930s teardrop race cars and luxury grand tourers (such as Bugatti, Delahaye, and Talbot-Lago), this model seamlessly bridges the gap between mid-century automotive art and a high-end collector display object.
