Issued in December 1999, this was the fourth of the dealer gifts which in the mean time are a tradition at Schuco.

Each year, Schuco rewards its top 1,000 dealers with a special Christmas gift in the shape of a gold-plated Piccolo.
Usually, 800 pcs come in blister packaging and 200 come in a wooden chest.

This is the version in blister-pack.

In 1999 the Buick was chosen to be the Christmas gift along with a gold-plated boat trailer and a silver-plated boat.

Naturally, these dealer gifts are very scarce on the "free market" as you can imagine that it takes quite some wheeling & dealing to talk a successful Schuco dealer into parting with his "trophy"!
