About the Ferrari 500 F2 #1 A. Ascari F1 Double World Champion 1952-1953 CMC 1:18
TL;DR: CMC's 1:18 diecast Ferrari 500 F2, driven by Alberto Ascari to consecutive world championships in 1952 and 1953, opens doors and hood over its straight-four engine and open-wheel cockpit. This used model's box shows traces of storage. Ascari's dominance in this car remains a landmark in Ferrari's early Formula 1 history.
Ferrari's 500 carried Alberto Ascari to back-to-back drivers' titles at a time when the world championship regulations briefly ran to Formula 2 specification, a period Ascari dominated almost completely.
CMC's Engineering Detail on an Early F1 Racer
A car this old wears its mechanicals openly, and CMC's construction approach favors exactly that kind of exposed detail, from the visible suspension components to the four-cylinder engine tucked ahead of the cockpit. The doors and hood open, revealing period-correct engineering rather than a simplified interpretation, and the exposed wheels and narrow tires reflect early-1950s Formula racing before aerodynamics reshaped the category. The number 1 livery and Ferrari racing red hold their identity clearly at scale. As a used model, this piece has prior handling history, and the box shows traces of storage consistent with a previously displayed piece.
Ascari's Championship Dominance
Alberto Ascari's consecutive titles in 1952 and 1953 came during a period when world championship races briefly used Formula 2 machinery, and his near-total command of that era with Ferrari remains one of the most one-sided championship stretches in the sport's history.
An Early F1 Piece for a Ferrari Motorsport Shelf
This 500 F2 anchors an early Formula 1 or Ferrari championship-era collection, its open-wheel simplicity offering a striking contrast to later, more aerodynamically complex Ferrari race cars.
