chunkypeanutbutter Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Cool site! Interesting history behind it, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumpyDan Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Very cool, I started a 1/16 scale Predicta last year but got stuck on a few things and put it away. Want to get back to it one day. I also was in Tulsa, OK in 2007 for the raising of the 1957 Plymouth and went on a side trip to Starbird Museum and saw the Predicta in person.............Something I will never forget.

1930fordpickup Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Interesting site. Just wondering when the blue plastic version was out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToyLvr Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 A few years ago I contacted the museum to order a copy of Starbird's autobiography (authored by his grandson). A nice lady answered the phone, and took down all of my information for the order. As we were wrapping up, she asked if I would like to have the book autographed. I replied "of course, if you happen to see Mr. Starbird, and it's not too much trouble." She responded that it would be no problem, as she had seen him practically everyday for the last 54 years. it was only then that I realized that I had been talking to Mrs. Starbird all that time! In addition to the Mark Gustafson info that Casey mentioned, I highly recommend the Starbird autobiography to all of you who are fans of his work. Lots of great stories and photos.....

Danno Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I had the distinct and exciting pleasure of seeing Darryl Starbird actually drive the Predicta around in ordinary traffic. I grew up in Wichita and happened to see him driving the Predicta to a photo shoot in Oak Park, where many of its best photo portraits and magazine pictorials were shot.

Howard Cohen Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 FYI...the Predicta project is more than 10 years old. He is taking longer to write the story than it took Darryl to build the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
