About the BMW 507 Silver Revell 1:18
TL;DR: Revell's 1:18 diecast BMW 507 reproduces the 1957 open-top roadster in silver, with opening doors and hood on this used example. The box shows traces of storage; the model itself is intact. A graceful, financially costly-to-build classic that nearly bankrupted BMW's sports car ambitions.
Few BMWs carry the romantic weight of the 507, a hand-built roadster that flattered its designers far more than it flattered the company's balance sheet, and Revell's diecast honors that elegance in silver.
Diecast Construction of an Elegant Open-Top Body
The zinc alloy body gives this 507 genuine weight, and Revell tools the roadster's low, flowing lines with reasonably tight panel gaps around the doors and hood, both of which open on this example. Lifting the hood exposes the engine bay layout beneath the car's long, sculpted nose, a detail that matters on a subject whose proportions are defined almost entirely by that elongated front end. Silver paint carries solid gloss depth under direct light, letting the 507's sweeping fender lines and kidney grille catch highlights cleanly. Being an open-top roadster, the cabin and windshield frame sit fully exposed, showing off the seating and dashboard layout without any roof structure interrupting the view. As a used example, this piece's box shows traces of storage, wear that is confined to the packaging rather than the diecast body.
A Costly Icon in BMW's History
Albrecht Goertz designed the 507 as BMW's answer to the Mercedes 300 SL, but its expensive hand-built construction meant the company lost money on nearly every unit sold, contributing to BMW's severe financial troubles in the late 1950s. Despite that commercial failure, the 507's styling has aged into one of the most admired shapes BMW ever produced, and its rarity today makes real examples extraordinarily valuable. For a classic European sports car display, this silver 507 brings genuine 1950s elegance and a cautionary business story in equal measure, a rare case where a car's commercial failure only deepened its collector appeal.
