The 1:1 Car Craft Dream Rod was designed Car Craft Magazine in 1961. In 1964, the magazine commissioned Bill Cushenberry to build the 1:1 show car. AMT issued a kit to build the Dream Rod. In 1967, AMT revised the design and re-issued the kit under the label of it's subsidiary MPC. They renamed the revised show rod model the Tiger Shark. Both kits included a simple rotating display stand as a bonus.
So, the answer to your question is ... "Yes and No."
The Tiger Shark is not the same as the Dream Rod. But, the Tiger Shark kit is the revised, redesigned, and retooled Dream Rod kit under a different name. It may have been done that way to generate more revenue from the original tooling without incurring licensing expenses.
