The cars were given away by the chocolate factory as part of a promotional program to attract more customers to the company. Chocolat Aiglon was best known by Belgian youth for giving away collectible cards in every bar of chocolate, including transportation themed cards showing race car driver Juan Manuel Fangio and General Motors concept cars such as the 1951 Le Sabre.
