Concept models and original display case from Blake Edwards adventure comedy The Great Race. Adventurer The Great Leslie (Tony Curtis) and villainous Professor Fate (Jack Lemmon) competed in a race from New York to Paris in the early 20th century.

This lot consists of a pair of wire, plastic and cloth model dirigibles affixed to a burgundy cloth-lined wooden display box, a black plastic model plane with a silver-color propeller, a black plastic wing and propeller section of a model plane, and a collection of extra miniature detail parts, including an American flag. It exhibits signs of wear from age and use, including several detached pieces on both model planes, but remains in fair overall condition. Dimensions: 17" x 23" x 8" (43.25 cm x 58.5 cm x 20.5 cm)

Estimate: $2,000 - 3,000
