American Automobiles - Hot Rod (Plastic Kit) -- 1950s Soft-Top Roadster

The purring engine lightly rocks your Hot Rod from side to side. You look to your right and you see the 49' Merc that you've been looking for all night. You figure it's time to teach a lesson in the natural laws of land speed. You tap the accelerator and the car lurches forward a few inches with a growl. The '49 Merc does the same. The light goes from red to yellow. You drop the car into gear and slowly depress the accelerator. The rumble begins to build, and as the light turns green, you slam the pedal to the floor leaving the Mercury, its driver and a billow of smoke behind you. Two blocks later you're back down cruisin' speed with a big smile on your face. Such were the nights when this 1950s Roadster was king of the road. Now you can build your own replica of this Hot Rod with this kit that features parts molded in colors and step-by-step instructions that ensure easy construction.
