Oldsmobile 88 CPA 1952 #157 Taruffi
Kit available TRO327P
Having won the 1951 Carrera Panamericana outright in a Ferrari, Pierro Taruffi returned in 1952 in a rather less exotic ‘stock’ Oldsmobile, entered by the Local importer who presumably paid handsomely to have such a star behind the wheel. Unfortunately, in 1952 a Lincoln was the car to have and Taruffi was tenth equal in class. The small etched quarter window frames on our sample aren’t very well fitted but the remainder of the small trim is, the overall shape of the car looks good and the dark metallic blue paintwork has a very subtle fine grain providing an excellent backdrop to the clearly printed decals.
