Maybe you mean "monochromatic" grilles. Actually, I think Ponch wimped out when he finally just bought a new car. Part of the fun of that show was knowing he had to keep rebuilding that old "bucket" between episodes. He was an amazing body man - he kept fixing that totalled wreck every couple of weeks! BTW - I just noticed, he has the same license plate on the new car as the old car. How'd he do that? He must've known somebody at the DMV. As far as I know, in California back then, you couldn't transfer regular plates from one car to the next one, unless they were personalized plates. I know, I tried. Sorry, back to the models.....

Great model https://www.therealmach5.com https://www.youtube.com/embed/W4Pxx0GS-xY Wow, thanks for the link! It's weird to see something I used to see all the time in a cartoon, driving around in 3D on the streets! If it were mine, of course I'd make some changes to the appearance (slightly) but that's just me. As a kid, I used to hurry home from school to see Speed Racer on our local channel (sometimes there was competition with Dark Shadows), and it's hard to believe out of all the people that did the voices for the characters, only Corrine Orr (Trixie) is still alive-----albeit she's got to be in her 80's now.

It seems to me that any California licence plate with "PCE" on it is strictly a television programme and / or movie car (the first example that I noticed was the 1970-1971-1972 Valiants used in "Duel" --- the plate number was "149 PCE") . Perhaps the "PCE" translates to some acronym ? Perhaps , I don't know , "Public Cinema Enterprises" (just hazarding a guess) ? Truly , that blue / gold series of Calif plates would have a "P" as the first letter during 1976-1977 , assuming that it was a 'civilian' plate . By 1980 , 1981 , California plates changed to a 7-character layout anyhow . If the makers ( et al. ) of CHiPs were to "tow-the-line" , the blue Bird's plate should've been to the effect of " 1PCE033 " . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Rolls looks very labor intensive, you must've made those decals. Very Groovy, Mann! Makes me wonder if anyone has ever modelled John Lennon's personal Rolls. Now that was a wild, psychedelic ride! Is that Aston Martin the Airfix, Nichimo or the Aurora kit? It does James Bond proud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a side note ; the 'Month' sticker started in 1976 , occupying the place formerly provided for another 'Year' sticker (e.g. , one side would have a "1972" sticker , the other a "1973" sticker) .
