Wow!  They got a license to produce genuine Coca-Cola decals. Nowadays more and more companies don't bother with the licensing - they just issue generic decals.

What is cool to see is that with these retro-kits and retro-packaging the model companies are obviously going after the old-coots who are still building models.  But they will also cost more than the original $2!

Looks like another show rod to be had for my stash!

[Dragline]

Looks like yards of chrome to strip and Alclad. I'm in for one.

Alright! Other cool kit coming out in time for my next birthday. I just hope somebody like Firebird Designs makes some Mountain Dew decals for this kit. Coca-Cola is my second favorite beverage after Mountain Dew. So if I have to, I'll build it as shown on the box.

Alright! One I've been wanting to do for a long time now and I will finally get my chance! Will definitely have to add it to the show rod collection. Now, to actually build them....or something....

[crazyjim]

I get to save some money because this kit does nothing for me.

[gtx6970]

I hate to say it, but I could see a few of these old show rods built and in my case.

I doubt it'll happen .but one never knows.

 

either way I hope Round 2 sells a boat load of them . It helps finance stuff I will buy

I remember going to the Sportsnsationals in Bowling Green in the mid 70's and almost lost it when I saw this car driving down a side road. I don't know if it was going to a trailer or what but totally freaked out. Couldn't convince my Dad to turn around and give it chase.

True....I find that most chrome in older kits just does not look good based on the old mold designs. Seems, injections points etc, all seem to have not been through through.

I never knew a real version of this car existed before this. I thought it was cool as model. And I think it's just as cool as real car.

Must've been refreshed some time after the New Coke debacle in 1985, as the "Coca-Cola Classic" name didn't exist until then. Looks like the side "doors" are a darker color, too.

I'm curious to see which "Pad printed rear tires" Round2 is going to include, as the original (then) lo-pro "Indy" style tires are very consistent with what was considered cutting edge back then.

I'm curious too. Would really like to see Round 2 work their pad-printing magic on a set of big 'n little "Indy" tires.

If there were 7 up decals offered. We could build an. Up Yours version of this kit.

The kit isn't my cup of... soda, but those drum headlights and possibly the suicide front axle mount would be great for my T speedster project. Have to watch for one being parted out.

I wonder if they'll be these, which will appear first(?) in the Ice Cream Truck show rod kit?:

[Mr mopar]

Just wish Round2 would have done them in white not yellow!
