Gran Toros / Sputafuoco Silhouette

The Gran Toros Silhouette, Model #6616, was made for the Gran Toros series and never released as a Mebetoys series model. The Silhouette was based on a real concept car designed in 1963 by Bill Cushenbery. The Silhouette differs from previous custom cars of it's day in that it was built from "scratch" and was not simply a modified production model. The Silhouette was built on a modified Buick X-member frame, used a Ford 427 engine, and featured a fighter plane canopy.As with the Twin Mill and Mantis, the Silhouette was first a very popular Hot Wheels model that was carried over to the Gran Toros series.
