These models mark an important step in the history of miniature cars. You had to be as cunning as Mr. Juge and know your trade well to think of producing six different decoration and color variations on the same base. These Ferrari 512M, Lola T70 or Porsche 917 all existed and the decoration of each car corresponds to a very specific race. When I was still a child, I dreamed while reading the names of the prestigious circuits on which these cars had competed on the boxes. It took me on a journey: Nürburgring, Daytona, Monza… What could be done to increase production and make a mold profitable, without it being obvious to the retailers? Offer six Lolas, but in six different colors, each more attractive than the last. The buyer forgot that he had the same car in front of him. Mr. Juge distributed his products in folding cardboard boxes of 24. The box also served as a display.
