1929 Buick Goodyear Airwheel Promotion Autobus in 1:43 scale
This is the 1929 Buick Goodyear Airwheel Promotion Autobus in 1:43 scale by Autocult.
The 1929 Buick Goodyear Airwheel Promotion Autobus was a remarkable advertising vehicle created to showcase Goodyear’s innovative Airwheel pneumatic tire technology during the late 1920s. Built on a Buick chassis and fitted with a custom autobus-style body, it served as a traveling demonstration vehicle that brought new tire technology directly to the public through exhibitions and promotional tours. What truly set it apart from other vehicles of its era was its purpose-built design for marketing rather than transportation, featuring eye-catching styling and educational displays that highlighted the advantages of pneumatic tires. Today, its rarity, unique coach-built body, and connection to early automotive innovation make it a fascinating piece of both advertising and automotive history.
Excellent quality and finish. Beautifully crafted and exquisitely detailed. Models are hand
painted, decorated and assembled. Beautiful detail and accuracy of shape and scale. Photo
etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are also used. Each model
comes with its own acrylic display case.
