Old Money
Produced from 1929 to 1930, the Bentley Blower, with its supercharged 4.5-liter engine, was unlike anything else produced at the time. It saw a limited initial production run of only 50 examples to meet racing entry qualifications. This highly detailed 1:18 version features a fold-out engine cover, revealing the supercharger from under the radiator shell. It's also got hinged doors, a functional steering wheel, rolling wheels, folding windscreen and individual fly screens, wooden floorboards, individual dash dials and switches and a soft tonneau cover. $233

The highly sophisticated brushed-aluminum unit features a sliding opening with long-slot configuration, LCD display with state-of-the-art quartz, a heating element for precise toasting and a weighing function that's accurate to the gram.
