Monogram 1955 Badman Chevy Model Kit

• Xtreme Nostalgia Vintage Drag Racing - The "Good Guys Vintage Drag Racing Association" presents an amazing look at the world of drag racing with the most extreme machines, filled with stunning footage of explosions, crashes and hard launches. These aren't your average car, they're top fuel Funny Cars, Gassers and Wheel standers with more horse power than all the cars of The Fast and the Furious combined.
• Return to Macon County - Return to Macon County features a yellow 1957 Chevy and a young Don Johnson. (of Miami Vice fame).
• Two Lane Blacktop - One of the most famous car movies of all time. The baddest 1955 Chevy around. Some vintage drag racing footage also, and an early Pontiac 1970's GTO. (The 55 Chevy in that movie was later reused in American Graffiti.)
• Funny Car Fever: The Birth of Drag Racing's Wildest Class - There wasn't’t always a class for these “funny-looking” cars. In the mid 1960s, many of drag racing’s fastest drivers were outgrowing the Super Stock and Factory Experimental classes, building cars that stretched and eventually broke the rules. Promoters discovered they could pair up these altered-wheelbase, injected, blown machines in exhibition match races—and the spectators came running. Rivalries were born, the Funny Car class was created, and the cars kept getting faster and faster. Funny Car Fever is a humorous, heart-felt, first-hand account of the most exciting and memorable years of the Funny Car class. Steve Reyes followed these fiberglass-bodied, nitro burning machines and their drivers from the years leading up to the creation of the Funny Car class through its halcyon days. He’s included over 350 of his favorite images and more than a few never-before-heard stories to bring the feeling of the class and the era home to you.
• Factory Lightweights: Detroit's Drag Racing Specials of the '60s - Factory Lightweights: Detroit's Drag Racing Specials of the '60s chronicles these rare cars that still inspire admirers and imitators today. Among racers it's never been a secret that a lighter car is a faster car--particularly in drag racing. When Detroit's automakers got involved in organized drag racing, they paid heed to this principle, issuing a series of rare race-only cars that became legends in their own time. Unbound by warranty and durability concerns, these wild cars featured lightweight additions such as fiberglass and aluminum body parts, Plexiglas windows and many more weight-saving tricks. Under their hoods were wicked, raucous engines that only felt at home on the quarter mile. Cars like the Ford Fairlane 427 Thunderbolt, Pontiac's Super Duty Catalina, Dyno Don Nicholson's Chevy II Wagon, and a whole assortment of Hemi-powered Mopars sit at the top of the heap when you're talking about the fastest American muscle cars produced during the 1960s. Few of these cars were produced and very few still survive today.
