Wat scale waz it supposed to be? The Charger, I mean.

Width and height, 1/25. Length, 1/32. :lol:

Ray really nailed it- it does looked like a shortened Charger, similar to the AMX/Javelin situation.

What would be really cool is if someone went all out and build the Palmer Charger super clean, fully polished paint, BMF, etc., and dropped it on the contest table. :blink:

Theory I - Looks like it may have been a friction motor toy car in the first place, then someone tried to make it what it is now. Seem to remember most of that type of toy as having better proportions and construction, not out of the possibility though.

Theory II - This is one of Ira's undescovered early "Dodge Period" childhood works. If this is true immediately get it on fleaBay with a the first word in the title being "RARE" a truely exquisite item like this could finance your modeling adiction for years to come!

Theory III - An early resin cast Dodge Charger with "slight" shrinkage and warpage issues.

Know what? I actually kind of like that Charger. Rebuild it as a Zinger-type cartoon car!

I was thinking the same, possibly with an equally Zinger(ish) wing and nose. Wouldn't do anything to alter the proportions that are already there, they are what gives the car it's charactor in the first place, pretty much "rub" what's already there.

Another take on the Zinger theme might be a Nascar Charger Daytona, pick the Dodge race team either from the period or a current driver/team. One thing is for certain, blend in the joints where the roof meets the body especially the windshield area.
