Model car...box art!!!!

My all time favorite model THE DOUBLE DRAAAGGSTTTTTERRR!!!!

 

GREAT thread!!!!
I have quite a few models....mostly 80's and 90's kits of musclecars....but a few old ones of funnycars....
I'll have to dig 'em out!

Here's a pretty good book on collecting....

 

Do any of you know who's display this is?

It would be cool to hear the story behind it.

 

Here are 2 from my collection

More info on this awsome display please!!!!

 

...heres some posters of old Monogram kits you can get at www.unauthorized graphics.com

 

Man, I had or have seen a lot of those kits. Great blast from the past!

 

One of the first I ever built and still my favorite, I was pretty young and thought all 3 cars should be in the box.

 

Nice meeting you at GNRS. Love the Church books I got. I probably built every kit Aurora made in the 60s. Revell and Monogram to, and some Renwalls. I'd love to see the box art. I can probably ID most of them.

My favorite box art :O)

 

Dang this cat is about to get ran over, I think the tire will catch him in the side of the head!

 

Another brilliant thread started by Royalshifter. I learned to build models from my dad. I built alot of the ones I've seen on here. I'd build 'em then blow them to smithereens with firecrackers. Hah! Wish I saved everyone of them. Here's a box top I bought at a church fair for a dollar. The lady had a bunch of jewelry in it and she thought I was nuts that I just wanted the box.



In case anyone's wondering, no, I didn't flatten the box. I scanned all five sides.

 

the actual T for two car was at bakersfield last october. it was also a Rod and Custom cover car.

about a year ago on ebay somebody was selling the original paintings for some early 60's box art ... I believe it was monogram, but the beer has removed too many brain cells to be sure. they were cool, and went from like 800 - 1500 bucks each... the guy had like 20 of them

 

I built a few of the Tom Daniels ones, the Red Baron, T'rantula, and the Draggin Wagon had a dragon in the cage. I remember building those Zingers and the Dave Deal ones. My dad hated them 'cause they weren't realistic I guess. Cool stuff keep 'em coming.

 

This thread is great. Notice the price sticker on the side of the box - $1.17 ! Retail - $1.49 ! I'd show some pics of my collection , but I think they have all been covered here! Keep 'em coming guys......

 

In honor of the Ala-Kart restoration, I found this picture on google. I paid way too much for this kit and a year later AMT released the new version. Of course the box isn't as cool.

I've also been to yard sales and asked to buy just the box.

 

These jo-han kits were good quality. Of course I like the Roadrat, I had a white '69 RR in high school.




I've had a few of these but I never built one. I always steal the hemi motor for something else.



I've never finished one of these 'cause the decals always get fugdup. Cool Caddy motor though.



A couple more by AMT. I don't think Ohio George would approve of those front tires.

 

Here are some of my favorites, especially the Revell Nomad and the ZZR Outasight car, look at George......

 

The Lil Coffin was the first model I remember. My dad had built it when I was as a kid. That the one that got me interested in model cars. Is that car still around?

 

A budy sent me these scans last year of some of his…
