Have a question about WILD DREAM model

[gray07]

Ok here goes, my boyfriend does swap meets and toy shows, he has 1000s of magazines that he takes to car swap meets and he has lots of old toys that he takes to toy shows, by the way you will never see him take a model to any shows to sell, he likes trading , he says you meet good people that way, Ok now to the question he has a flea market vender that buys some of his toys, well this time when he came he wanted to trade models that he built in the 60s, the vender is in his 60s anyway, we did some dealing , he got alot of parts from the weird-ohs line, he got 2 mustangs, he got a predicta that the stick on the floor turns the front wheels, and also he got a street rod called i think at least the license plate says it WILD DREAM. My wuestion is anybody know anything about this wild dream or has built one, we have never seen one. Thank you

Joe Wilhelm built the Wild Dream show rod and AMT made a model kit of it

They're pretty rare today- the tooling was modified into the Vending Machine (I think). That kit has been reissued, but the Wild Dream it sure isn't.

It was actually an MPC kit.

In MPC's early days some of their kits were marketed in AMT boxes. The Wild Dream, King T, Car Craft Dream Rod, '28 Model A sedan and '65 Dodge Coronet are the ones I'm aware of.

The Wild Dream and King T were initially packaged together in an AMT double kit, then later issued in MPC boxes seperately as "Wilhelm's Wonder" and "Tognotti's T".

The MPC/AMT Ice Cream Truck contains the remains of the Wild Dream.
