In 1960, Riva used to deliver its wonderful mahogany boats in a very special truck with sleek lines and the logo prominently displayed. The Riva Truck would leave the boatyard every day heading for various destinations, including the quays of the Port of Genoa, where the Riva boats would be loaded onto ships bound for New York, and the ports of Gallipoli, Portofino and Viareggio. The 1960’s Riva Truck, a little gem in ash and maple wood, enriched by details in characteristic aquamarine, thus makes its rightful debut in the Toys Collection of the Riva Brand Experience. The box itself has an original design and can be used as a container for knick-knacks. The scale model comes with an instructions handbook with some educational pages on nautical terms and on the main boat components and accessories, making it a useful tool for encouraging children to take an interest in the wonderful world of boating.
