Lil' Coffin ?
Is it a white wall on the other side ?


No and no.

It's larger than 1/24 scale, and both sidewalls are almost exactly the same. There is one very small difference (which may be a future hint), but for all intents and purposes, they are the same.

Lindberg Bullhorn Tee.


I think this slick came from a built up of the earlier Pyro Tee N T, but the parts are identical to the later Lindberg Bull Horn T versions:

Is the chassis the wheel and tire are shown mounted to from the same kit?

That looks like a two-piece, hard plastic tire, but I don't recognize the wheel (especially the hub area) at all...MPC Scorpion, maybe?

Those tires are one peice vinyl ,, and very hard. They came in some early '70s AMT street rod kits. As for the wheel ,, no idea. But it shure looks cool.

Steve is correct on the tire. The tire and wheel are in the same kit.

Yup. The vintage is correct, but the kit is wrong. Pay attention to the front wheels. HInt: look at the chassis, it might help.

Hmm...the wheels kind of remind me of the '68 Torino convertible wheels, but I don't think so...

The wheels were common to several kits, but I'm looking for this particular combo!
