  Danbury Mint 1:24 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe Hot Rod- Rod & Custom Series diecast car
 
 
 

Well, Danbury Mint is at it again!!! The third in the HOT ROD Series, the '40 Ford, is now coming available and a real beauty it is!!!

DM has taken the time to really develop this FORD and it show in a model that truly "captures" the classic "40 Rod" look! The Yellow flame paint over Blue Indigo is flat out stunning. Accentuated by the "just right" lowered stance, this car is chock full of real classic clichés (and that's what makes the whole thing come together)...not the least of which is the gorgeous representation of the Full House Flathead V8, complete with Edelbrock Finned Heads, accurate wiring, and the famed 3 Deuces on top. The trunk is completely "sano" as they say, and the interior is well done, ‘tho I believe not up to the standard set by the rest of the design.

This is a model which can hold its own against the competition ...and looks great next to the Legends Merc...they're on a pretty equal par. If you're into rods, this is a must have...but it's also a great "look-see" for the rest of us. Check it out...I think you'll really like it! The issue price is $109 + $5.80 S&H. (12/97)
