Wings of Texaco Spartan 1935 Executive Diecast Coin Bank 2006 Ertl 21750P NRFB

Powered with a Pratt & Whitney 450 h.p. Wasp, Jr., the model 7W "Executive" is a closed, low-wing, all-metal monoplane designed in 1934 and first produced in 1935. It has proved exceptionally popular with business concerns and individuals who wanted air transportation of the high performance class.

The Spartan Executive was a true aviation legend. Built to the luxurious tastes of the rich oil "Executives", it rivaled in comfort to the most opulent limousines of the day. In performance, it was second to none, cruising at a remarkable 200 miles an hour and with a range of over one thousand miles. Even though the Spartan Executive was an aircraft which was created during the years before WWII, its design was replicated repeatedly in postwar aircraft. As evidence of it's durability TEXACO Spartan#51 is still flying today and is owned by a private citizen of Chicago, Illinois.
