AirDave's Kool Wheelz Collection

[Vermin_King]

Too funny. A week ago my dad's cat tried to get on the treadmill while he was doing his daily two miles. He barely caught a glimpse of it shooting between his legs and off the back. A giant hamster wheel would probably be better for the little rat.

okay, lets clear up the confusion....

I thought it was already understood
and when Jim (Spaceagent) suggested the 2000 version of the Weinermobile
I said "no" specifically to that version.

The model is in fact the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile as already guessed.
(It was suggested to me over at my own forum, a few months back)
Since I love this "truck" and already have some Weinermobile toys,
it was a given that I would add it to my Koolwheelz collection.

So...give me a day to sort out the website
and the kit will be ready for download.

Great Dave! I've been waiting for that - and now you did it. That and the Jetsons Space Car go straight on the top of the pile.

I just couldn't resist the temptation of trying to make a mildly funny post.

Outstanding! And forgive me the use of the word 'cat' in your thread.

On the other hand, that Dog Catcher would kinda fit in with some of your other Show Cars

it actually looks very good for a curve shaped structure! a favorite at weekend Barby Q's too

LOL!!! very funny. Oh and FWIW: the animal house death mobile is already out there in cyberspace.

I present...

the 1952 Oscar Mayer Weinermobile!



The first Weinermobile was in 1936.
The third generation, designed in 1952, was the first with multi passenger seating,
air conditioning and sound system.
One of the original '52 Dodge Truck based vehicles now sits in the Henry Ford Museum in Michigan.

The Weinermobile still tours the continent to this day
however the lates versions are built on the new Mini.

Hot Wheels toys produced a miniature version of the 2000 Weinermobile.

The paper version is roughly 1/60 scale
and its a pretty simple build.
Only reason I gave it a "Medium" build classification is because of the domed
ends to the sausage body. It takes a little practice to get smooth seams and
a nice rounded shape.

Model is up and ready for download (in my "Specialz" section of the Koolwheelz collection)

a classic, a road monster and pretty sharp looking to boot...........
the lost in space chariot!
[I believe the Cyclops model came with a tiny plastic one]

[airdave]

sorry Jim, not a fan of that show or that vehicle.
I love Robots, but thats about as much as I am interested in Lost in Space.
(Although, I am a fan of the more recent Lost in Space movie)
