This model is based on a Modelhaus Bonneville body with the hood cut open. I now realize it is incorrect as it should be a Catalina. The decals ( Fred Cady and white film ) and color are based on an old promotional film. The chassis is Monograms 59 Impala with 2 shocks per wheel. A modified stock bucket seat and engine were pirated from a GTO kit. Thanks for looking.

Nice job. Love seeing these older NASCARS being built.

Looks good Jon . It doesn't matter whether it's a Bonney or a Catalina . We need more builds like yours .

Nothing like the stock cars of yesteryear. Looks awesome. Thank you for sharing.

Great job on the Pontiac, Jon. I believe that is the car Buck Baker drove in place of Jack Smith that took the Southern 500 in 1960. Like you said the Catalina was a little shorter and made a better race car than the Bonneville.
