Scott8950 Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 I recently started working on the revell 32 ford 2 in 1. I had an idea of where i was going with it but i wanted to look at vintage pictures for ideas. While looking i found this old picture in the altereds on the george klass site an was kinda amazed by it. even the class # is the same. i thought this was cool and i wanted to share it.
Deuces Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 Yep! I have more pictures of the "devil deuce" stashed somewhere.... I need to look those up...

Russell C Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 Interesting. Someone at Revell in charge of new decals at least must also know about the 1:1 car. Me, never heard of the George Klass Remembers site (so much to see on da interwebs, so little time to see it all). Great old photo collection there: http://www.georgeklass.net/st-roadsters.html
High octane Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 I have one of those kits in my stash, however I have no idea when or if I'll get to building it.
berr13 Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 Too bad Revell didn't chop the top like the actual car.
styromaniac Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) Street Rodder did a cover story on a recreation of Fred Allen's Satan coupe in their Oct 2007 issue. The original car was written up in the Nov 1957 issue of Rod Builder & Customizer...see attached pic of both magazines. Edited May 28, 2019 by styromaniac
styromaniac Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) Monogram produced a model kit in the late 50s early 60s that was no doubt inspired by Fred Allens coupe...as the pic below shows. It was a Roadster instead of a coupe, but had the distinctive devil design on the radiator grille. Kit was re released sometime around 1994. Edited May 28, 2019 by styromaniac
THarrison351 Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 I've always wondered why the front tire/steel wheel combination were so wide and there isn't a spindle sticking out of the center of the wheel
styromaniac Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 I think Rod and Custom mightve also done a write up sometime in 1960.
Deuces Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 I just might have a couple more pictures floating around.... I have to sort through over 17,000 pictures stashed on my cheesy cell phone to find those...??

Deuces Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 You can make Moon style wheel covers using the bottoms of pop cans.... ?
