About the BMW 507 Touring Sport Cabriolet Blue Revell 1:18

TL;DR: Revell's 1:18 diecast BMW 507 Touring Sport Cabriolet in blue reproduces the 1956 open-top roadster styled by Albrecht Graf Goertz, a shape influential enough that BMW revisited it decades later with the Z8. Diecast construction suits its long, elegant bonnet well.

Long before the Z8 borrowed its proportions, the 507 established the long-bonnet, short-tail formula that would define BMW's most elegant roadsters for decades to come.

Diecast Detail on an Open-Top 1950s Roadster

With the roof folded, or absent entirely on a cabriolet like this, the 507's long bonnet and simple, clean flanks carry the whole visual weight of the design, and a diecast model needs to get that unbroken bonnet line right above almost everything else. Blue paint should present smoothly across those large flat panels, with Revell's diecast build providing the expected metal weight and opening doors typical of the format. Interior detail stays straightforward, in keeping with mainstream diecast pricing, but the cockpit sits fully exposed on a cabriolet, so what detail is there matters more than it would on a closed coupe.

A Shape Influential Enough to Be Revisited

The 507 sold in genuinely small numbers during its production run, but its long-hood, short-tail proportions left a lasting impression on BMW's own design language, one the company deliberately echoed decades later with the Z8 roadster. Its association with period celebrity ownership, most famously Elvis Presley's example, has also kept the 507's profile alive well beyond typical BMW enthusiast circles.

A Foundational Piece for a BMW Roadster Lineage

Displayed beside the later Z8, this 507 shows exactly where that shape originated, a genuinely rewarding pairing for collectors interested in how BMW's design language carries across generations.
