1920 Frontenac Gaston Chevrolet Indy 500 Winner in 1:18 scale
This is the 1920 Frontenac Gaston Chevrolet Indy 500 Winner in 1:18 scale by Replicarz.
The 1920 Indianapolis 500 was won by Gaston Chevrolet driving a Frontenac, marking a historic victory for the Chevrolet brothers’ racing enterprise. Gaston, the younger brother of Louis Chevrolet, was known for his fearless driving style and mechanical understanding, which helped him master the demanding 500-mile race. What set the Frontenac apart from many rival cars was its advanced overhead-valve engine design and lightweight chassis, innovations that delivered both strong power and reliability over long distances. The win was especially significant because it made Gaston Chevrolet the first—and still only—Indianapolis 500 winner born in Europe, while also cementing the Frontenac name in early American motorsport history.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are
exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production
processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the
industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used
for the most authentic replication.
