**Answer**

Mi auto modelo a escala de un Thunderbird es un objecto que aprecio mucho, su carrocería y aros están hechos de metal, la decoración interna y la capota son de plástico, los focos y ventanas son de vidrio y en su parte inferior dice que fue hecho en Taiwan.
Seguramente llegó a este país dentro de un cargamento grande de figuras de colección e incluso algunos juguetes. Desde que me lo regalaron hace 10 años lo he cuidado mucho ya que nunca jugué con él y lo limpio cada semana. Actualmente está sobre un mueble frente a mi cama justo bajo el televisor. Espero que siga en mis manos por muchos años para que yo se lo pueda regalar a mi hijo, cuando lo tenga.

**Translation**

My scale model car of a Thunderbird is an object that I appreciate very much, its bodywork and rings are made of metal, the internal decoration and the hood are made of plastic, the lights and windows are made of glass and on the bottom it says that it was made. in Taiwan.
It surely arrived in this country with a large shipment of collectible figures and even some toys. Since they gave it to me 10 years ago I have taken great care of it since I never played with it and I clean it every week. It is currently on a piece of furniture in front of my bed right under the television. I hope it remains in my hands for many years so that I can give it to my son, when I have one.
