Dukes of
Hazzard Roscoe Dodge
Police Car Model Kit
An
MPC Roscoe P Coletrain
of Hazard County Police car. From the Dukes
of Hazzard.
This
kit has been issued in several ways. One version was a Force
440 box, very 1970's. And later as a T
J Hooker police car.
The
latest version is as Joker's
Goon Car from the first Batman movie in 1989. All versions
retain the police parts, such as an M16, shotgun, and radar
gun.
Revell
Dodge Ramcharger Model Kit
A
Revell Dodge Ramcharger
truck. This truck came in a combo kit, meaning it was
included with a boxed kit that had a boat in it.
I
wish is was available separately, it's a good kit and subject.
There are a lot of things you can make with it.
The
Park Ranger decals are from Chimneyville I believe. (they
also make a nice Border Patrol decal set). The paint is
Testors Gloss White and a 50's Aqua color from Testors as
well.
Plymouth
Police Station Wagon Model Kit
A
Johan Plymouth Wagon.
Really now, what can you do with a wagon? I made it a police
car. Using Fred Cady decals. Other than that it is built
stock out of the box.
I
added the red light on top. It's painted in Testors Gloss
White with a flat black interior.
This
particular model had some casting problems, it looked like
they ran out of plastic in the mold. But, since they are
no longer producing these kits, there's not much I could
do about it.
As
with most Johan kits, detail is sparse, and the chassis
more resembles a toy or promo than a detailed kit part.
Drag
Racing Funny Cars of the 1960s Photo Archive: From Super Stockers
to Floppers - In the 1960s funny cars captured the fans
with tremendous smoky burnouts and gigantic wheel stands,
they were so unpredictable that you never knew what to expect
- they might go straight or end up glancing off the guard
rail. Heroes were born and idolized with their driving talents
and their showmanship. Arnie "The Farmer" Beswick,
"Mr. Pontiac" Jess Tyree, The "Kings of Smoke"
- Farkonas, Coil and Minick's "Chi-Town Hustler,"
Don Schumacher, "Big John" Mazmanian, and "Jungle
Jim" Liberman drew standing room only crowds each and
every Saturday night under the lights!

The
Dukes of Hazzard: The Unofficial Companion - Following
in the successful wake of The
Beverly Hillbillies and Green Acres, The Dukes of Hazzard
debuted in January 1979 and quickly became a staple of CBS-TV's
Friday night lineup. With its wild mix of wacky car chases
and spectacular vehicle wrecks, bumbling sheriffs, greedy
politicians, and its rambunctious lead players (the Duke boys
and curvaceous Daisy Duke), it's little wonder the program
developed such a strong and loyal viewership. This is the
first book devoted to the genesis and production of the hit
program, tracing its 1970s origin through to its recent, highly-rated
"reunion" movie on CBS-TV. The author conducted
extensive interviews with cast and technical talent to explore
this beloved show - revealing for the first time many behind-the-scenes
anecdotes about the week-to-week filming of the series.In
this lively and factual presentation of the long-running TV
series (1979-85), no trivia point is left unanswered about
the amazing clan of Dukes and their colorful nemeses Sheriff
Rosco P. Coltrane and Boss Hogg. Forward by Barbara Bach.
Chrysler,
Dodge & Plymouth Muscle - This marvelously photographed
and engagingly written history chronicles Chrysler's big-block
history, from the C-300 to today's rubberneck inducing Dodge
Viper. The author discusses technical and aesthetical triumphs,
as well as promotional efforts, with an emphasis on the much-coveted
Road Runners, Barracudas,
Challengers, Chargers, and Super Bees of the 1960s. Evolution
of legendary power plants like the 426 Hemi, 340, 440 and
383 is also discussed, along with the motorsport exploits
of Chrysler proponents Richard Petty, Dick Landy, Don Prudhomme,
the Flock Brothers, and others.
Dodge

with technical information, mechanical specifications, and
production figures. A special section highlights the Ramcharger
and Plymouth Trailduster.
