Michelin - Bibendum - Advertising sign - PVC

Illuminated Michelin Bibendum vintage truck statue with mounting bracket - 21 cm
Old and authentic advertising figure of the iconic Michelin Bibendum, depicted in his classic and iconic seated pose with crossed legs. This 21 cm tall design is intended to be fixed-mounted on the edges of truck cab roofs or auxiliary light bars.
Technical features: Illuminated variant. It has a factory circular hole on the dorsal area designed to route wiring and the lamp holder. The letters of the crossed "MICHELIN" band and the features of the eyes are molded in relief.
Fixing system: It retains its original mounting bracket composed of an arched metal plate and a long central threaded rod to firmly attach to the vehicle.
Dimensions: Exact height 21 cm.
Condition: Original used condition with a beautiful vintage patina. The figure features a white-painted finish over the base material, which shows light wear marks, typical specks from outdoor use, and small chipping on the folds of the body. At the bottom rear (just above the metal base) there is a vertical crack next to a small loss of material that does not compromise its structural stability. The metal plate shows superficial oxidation typical of aging. It does not include electrical system (wiring or bulb).
