Mechanical Model - Dream Cabriolet

UGEARS models are a unique combination of wood and mechanics.  UGEARS feature easy-to-assemble wooden pieces and gears that actually move that will bring delight to novice and experienced modelers alike. Made with laser-cut high quality plywood, there is no glue required to assemble these intricate masterpieces. Detailed step-by-step color instructions are provided in 10 languages.

The 50s had given automobiles a completely new look, producing absolutely unique recognizable designs. The Dream Cabriolet VM-05 is a highly detailed and extremely realistic tribute of the Ugears’ designers and engineers to the automobile industry highlights of that decade.

The Dream Cabriolet VM-05 model is equipped with a durable rubber-band motor that powers the mechanism and drives the car. The Cabriolet can go forward or back. We've also included idle mode, to ensure you can take a close look at the beautiful eight-cylinder V configuration engine in operation. In this mode, your Cabriolet will stay still, letting you look under the hood to appreciate the beauty of the eight pistons moving in synch. To set your vehicle in motion, simply pull the transmission lever on the steering column, just like you would in a real car. Both front and rear wheels of the model have suspension to make this ride dreamily smooth. Use the steering wheel to move the front axle and send the Dream Cabriolet in the direction you choose.

This highly-detailed, vintage DIY wooden model car is made of high-grade wood and has everything you need for assembly included in the kit. No glue or special tools are required. Just push the pieces out of their precision laser-cut boards and snap them together to assemble the vehicle. Find your favorite oldies radio station, one that plays Bill Haley & His Comets, the Spinners, Drifters or Coasters (all good band names when building a model car!), and settle in for a pleasant afternoon working on your Dream Cabriolet (estimated time of assembly: 13 hours).
