Solido - 1970 Meyers Manx Convertible - The definitive dune buggy done right!

Back in the mid-1960s, a guy named Bruce Meyers built one of the coolest kit cars ever made. Everybody wanted to have one, and for a few years you couldn’t pick up a car magazine that didn’t have something to say about Bruce Meyers and his Manx. Now you can get one in 1:18 scale that’s not quite as much fun, but is every bit as cute as the real thing. Bruce Meyers was an amazing man: adventurer, artist, designer, engineer, entrepreneur, fabricator, hot-rodder, sailor, surfer, tinkerer, and all-around good guy. Born in Los Angeles in 1926, Meyers came from a very special family. His father worked for Ford Motor Company founder Henry Ford, opening up dealerships across the country to sell the iconic Ford Model T and Model A.
