Well this is a really cool surprise to see.  I cant wait to see this one progress.   

My wife has one of those coaches hid away somewhere !

As a lover of all things show rods, this is by far cool as all get out! I'm on board to watch in amazement.

Imagine that car with some less crazy front fenders (or NO fenders at all) and some smaller front headlamps (and wheels) and I think it would be a lot cooler…

 

@kitkarson - this is going to be a great build…I’ve had this on my to-do list forever but I’m really excited to see YOU build one!

This should be a pretty kewl build.

Bill, back in the day I had an opportunity to ask "Big Daddy" about the Druid Princess and when he came up with the idea and the timing of him building it. The Druid Princess was going to be for The Addams Family, but the series had been cancelled. Later the Princess was completed as a show car and was featured on the cover of the Rod & Custom January 1967 before being dispatched on the show circuit. It was Roth’s last magazine cover car. My Angel T was built during the winter of '66 and neither Ed nor I knew about the other's creations. Just before entering the Marine Corps, I submitted the pictures and the story to Model Car& Science but did not find out that it had been chosen for the model of the month until I was just about finished with boot camp in San Diego when I happened on a copy of the magazine in the base PX. Boy was I surprised! -KK

Brother John Hendley found a link to another Regal Coach on evilbay and from there I located a really nice klean version of the coach much better than the one I found covered with glitter!

 

So, there may be a companion build to the reconstructed Angel T!?. -KK

When you posted this particular info about evilbay, I took off running! I scored one that is gold plated plastic with no glitter, thankfully. I'll be gather up parts and contemplating construction on this for quite some time. Thanks for the directional info.

Definitely following this!

After doing some research I found that not only was this carriage offered by a perfume company but it is also used as a cake topper. I'm not sure if both are of the same qualities but they are similar in design and appearance. The only differences I can see per photos are the cake topper doesn't have glass but does have axles. I plan on buying one of the cake toppers just to compare.

@A modeler named mike Looks a lot like the perfume carriage! I would invite you to continue with you finds & ultimate build plans here in this thread, Brother!  I have an additional perfume carriage build in store besides the Angel T recreation, so let's make it a party! -KK
