Two die-cast model cars. The first is a 1/18 scale 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Hardtop manufactured by ERTL. It is finished in a two-tone red and white paint scheme with a white roof and rear fender accents. The exterior is detailed with chrome-plated bumpers, grille, side trim, and a bird-shaped hood ornament. The underside of the chassis is embossed with 1/18 1955 CHEVROLET BEL AIR LICENSED BY GM CORPORATION and includes the ERTL manufacturer logo. The car is equipped with rubber white-wall tires on chrome-style hubcaps and a front license plate marked HARDTOP. The second vehicle is a Bentley convertible produced by Solido. It features a metallic bronze-gold die-cast body and a cream-colored plastic convertible top fixed in the closed position. The base of the model is embossed with the Solido logo and the text MADE IN FRANCE. Details include a classic vertical-slat grille, chrome-tone bumpers, and white-wall rubber tires. Dimensions (measured against a ruler, only inches shown): Bentley length approx. 9.25 inches; Chevrolet length approx. 10.25 inches. Condition: Both models are in good displayed condition. A light layer of surface dust is present on both vehicles. The paint finishes and chrome-style trim appear well-preserved. No major damage, missing parts, or signs of restoration are evident.
