Rare Schuco VW Volkswagen Polo 1:43 Diecast Model Car

NOTE 1: The box has some wear, damage, mainly from age. NOTE 2: There is some bubbling on the paint on the driver door, passenger door, back side of the roof, and hood (a common issue with 1970s diecast zinc-pest or prep work). Difficult to see paint issues on the roof and hood through the pictures but there is slight bubbles. I am selling a Rare Schuco Volkswagen Polo 1:43 (Art.

Hood, trunk, driver door, and passenger door opens.
