Jon Haigwood Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) I am in the process of helping my step-brother downsize his stuff . His interest in models funs from scifi, horror figure and a few cars. Looking thru them I ran across these two. Not something you normally find. Was there any interest in these or were they "one no-hit wonders"? Edited October 29, 2017 by Jon Haigwood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#1 model citizen Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I don't think I've seen either one before. They are both kinda cool especially the VW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Hard Hat was made in the 70's and reissued one time.....the one you have. It is a kit of a real showrod.....one built just for the show circuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1930fordpickup Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 The VW is a Wheels Deals car. It was released more than once. 71 and 2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toner283 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Pretty sure that the hard hat hauler is currently being restored to its original show car glory. I saw pics of it being taken apart and of the helmet being repolished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 The VW looks interesting, the Hard Hat not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Haigwood Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) The VW is a Wheels Deals car. It was released more than once. 71 and 2006 This one says 71 Apparently the Hauler Kit was a MPC and then Barris and others built the 1:1 car after it. There is more info here if your interested http://www.barris.com/carsgallery/noveltyproduct/hardhathauler.php Edited October 30, 2017 by Jon Haigwood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 This one says 71Most times they do not change copyright dates.....Beer Wagon still says 1968 IIRC but issued many many times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
