DETAILS

Dream Cabriolet VM-05

Fanciers of fine automobiles will absolutely fall in love with Ugears' Dream Cabriolet VM-05 wooden car model. This 1950s throwback is a beautiful showpiece but what really sets it apart is the model comes loaded with a host of moving parts and realistic detail. The Dream Cabriolet is an absolute marvel of design, featuring: a hood that lifts to reveal a V8 engine with moving pistons; a trunk that lifts to reveal the winding knob; transmission lever on the steering column that puts the car into reverse, idle or drive gear; front and rear suspension; doors that open and seats that push forward to let passengers in the back; and functional window cranks and windshield wipers. And because this is a signature Ugears model, one of the true gems of our collection, and because we are known for adding extra touches of whimsy, the Dream Cabriolet also has a functional lifting jack and toolkit mounted under the trunk, as well as a hidden fire extinguisher and first-aid kit.

Rockabilly music, letterman's jackets, swing dresses, bobby socks and, of course, cruising Main Street in classic American cars like the 1955 Ford Thunderbird, 1957 Chevy Bel Air, or 1959 Pontiac Bonneville convertiblesthe 1950s had a signature style, recognizable the world over. Car design is an art form, and the automakers in Detroit, aka Motor City, began turning out big beautiful coupes and sedans in the '50s that looked like nothing that had come before. The cars carried and conveyed the confident attitude of a country that was realizing its strength and position in the world. Detroit designers looked to the skies for inspiration, to jet airplanes and rockets, and created cars with zippy, sleek lines, particularly the iconic raised fins on rear fenders, which call to mind the tail fins on airplanes or rockets that provide aerodynamic stability at high speed.

At Ugears, we love great design, so how could our crack team of designers and engineers possibly miss the chance to contribute a stylish automotive addition to such a visually interesting period? Take a trip down memory lane and feel a part of the fabulous '50s era with the ingenious Dream Cabriolet VM-05 from Ugears.

The waitress wheels over on roller skates to the driver's side window and takes your usual order: two burgers (hold the onions), fries, and rootbeer shakes. Now it's off to the drive-in movie, to meet up with friends and see the latest James Dean film (or at least some of it!). You're young, but somehow you know, life just doesn't get better than this.
