Description by CMC:
1950 marked the inception of the Formula One World
Championship. From Day One, Ferrari was involved in this highest
class of auto racing, flashing a distinctive symbol of the small
black prancing horse called “Cavallino Rampante” in Italian. In
fact, Ferrari is the only F1 participant that has remained active
ever since. Its record of successes is just as im-pressive. In 1951
Alfa Romeo – the toughest opponent of Ferrari – decided to quit
the Formula 1 series. The rules for competition were subsequently
changed so that Formula 2 racing cars were allowed to participate in
the championship. Luckily Ferrari had already developed one – the
500 F2. The new car was light-weighted and compact in size. Other new
features included a very low barycentre, wellbalanced distribution
of the aggregates, good brakes and high torque. Developed by Aurelio
Lampredi, the 4-cylinder engine was capable of rendering 185 hp. All
these gave the 500 F2 a superior manoeuvre and response to handling.
But there was more. The driver of the 500 F2 was none other than the
exceptionally gifted Alberto Ascari. It was not without reason that
he was known as ”The flying Milan“.Ascari drove his 500
F2 to the title of a two-time world champion in 1952 and 1953. Other
drivers such as Villoresi, Farina, Taruffi and the young Mike
Hawthorn also contributed to the winning streak of the 500 F2. This
legendary car virtually won everything there was to win during these
years, hence its nickname “the Super-Ferrari.” With the return of
the Mercedes and the rise of the Maserati in the 1954 season, Ferrari
was faced with new chalenges. As a result, its winning streak
came to a temporary end. One year later – in 1955, Alberto Ascari
died of a tragic accident in Monza, and the whole nation of Italy was
deeply mournful. This allmetal model is a sincere tribute to the
legendary Ferrari 500 F2, the world championship car of 1953. Hand
assembled from 1,463 parts, M-056 is exactly detailed and feature the
craftmanship and precision that make CMC miniatures so special

Damages/Lost
packages
We
inspect and package everything we sell very carefully to prevent
damage in shipment but some circumstances are beyond our control.
It is VERY RARE but sometimes items do arrive damaged, as a result of
being mishandled by the carrier. We insure everything we ship 100% so
you are covered, but it is the Buyer's responsibility to file a
Damage Report with the post office or Carrier that delivered the
package-- all of the necessary information is on the outside of the
package. This applies to all packages, within the UnitedStates
and International. We will not refund payments unless we are certain
that the buyer has filed the necessary Damage Report, and we are
certain that the Carrier is refunding to us. Of course we will assist
you in any way we can, but it is the BUYER’S RESPONSIBILITY to file
the Damage Report. In most cases, we will receive a direct
compensation (refund) from the Carrier if the claim is filed
properly, and then we will refund to the buyer. Lost Packages This is
very very rare. In this rare event, we have to wait 45 days before
we can officially file a claim with USPS. If the courier truly has a
lost package, we will file a claim and refund your payment as soon we
have the official word from USPS that the package is officially
declared "lost". We cannot refund until the package has
been officially declared LOST.
