About the BMW 507 Touring Sport Feather White Revell 1:18
TL;DR: Revell's 1:18 diecast BMW 507 in Feather White reproduces the 1956 roadster designed by Albrecht Graf Goertz, a car whose beauty far outran its commercial success at the time. Mid-tier diecast detail suits a subject now regarded as one of BMW's most desirable classic shapes.
Some of the most desirable classic cars were financial disasters when new, and the 507's story is a textbook example of styling triumph paired with commercial failure.
The 507's Beautiful Commercial Failure
Designed by Albrecht Graf Goertz and built in tiny numbers from 1956, the 507 aimed to give BMW a genuine competitor to contemporary American and European sports cars, with clean, uncluttered lines that still look modern decades later. High production costs relative to its sale price meant BMW lost money on nearly every car built, and the model nearly pushed the company toward financial crisis during a difficult postwar decade. Its low production numbers and the design's enduring elegance have since made surviving originals extraordinarily valuable, turning a period sales disappointment into one of the most coveted BMWs ever built.
Revell's Diecast Treatment of a Rare Roadster
Revell, better known for model kits but also active in pre-built diecast, gives the 507's long hood and simple flanks room to breathe without the fussy detailing a more angular subject would demand. Feather White suits the design's clean, understated character better than a bolder color would, letting the proportions do the work. For most collectors, an original 507 will never be within reach; this diecast is the realistic way to own that shape, study its proportions up close, and understand why a car that once threatened BMW's finances is now considered one of its finest designs.
