Hi! Long before Tom Thaylor, Steve Stanford and Chip Foose became household names, the great Harry Bradley was creating buzz in the automotive press with many innovative designs. In a spring of 1970 issue of CarLife magazine, he posited that the crop of Pony Cars could be transformed into sport wagons, at low cost for GM, Ford, AMC and Chrysler. I kept the article, titled "The wagon as a GT", and it inspired my concept. Based on a Revell T/A Challenger, with a second roof added to create a Kammback design, with a rear hatch instead of a trunk. The man of action, into, let's say Scuba diving, would take advantage of the rear platform extra cargo capacity to carry around the diving kit from Monogram's Blue Bandito. Rolling stock from Revell's Foose 67 Charger, seats from Uptown Caddy, and scratchbuilt rear interior section, side windows, and custom 8-stack injection and air intake unit: it's a factory concept car after all! Tamya's Champagne Gold + MrHobby Top Coat clear, Smartcraft Fog grey acrylic interior, Revell's spray chrome accents. So, Mister Bradley was right: minimum tooling costs involved, and Vive la difference! Hours of fun with styrene CT
