Volkswagen Thing Type 181 1/64 Diecast

This 1/64 scale diecast model reproduces the 1974 Volkswagen Thing Type 181 in yellow with red polka dots. It belongs to the "Vintage Ad Cars" Series 8 and features a die-cast metal body and chassis with authentic decoration. The model measures approximately 2.25 inches long and comes in a blister pack inside a brand new box.

Collectors of Volkswagen Advertising History

The model suits hobbyists who collect officially licensed Volkswagen promotional vehicles and appreciate the "It Can Be Anything!!!" period advertising graphics. Buyers seeking larger display scales or models without the polka-dot livery should look elsewhere. The blister packaging is designed for shelf display rather than loose play.

1/64 Scale Determines Display Compatibility

The 1/64 scale fixes the model at roughly 2.25 inches long, so it fits standard 1/64 display cases, dioramas and storage trays. Collectors building scenes in any other scale will find the dimensions mismatched. This single specification decides whether the model integrates with an existing collection.
