Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG+
2005 reissue of the this 1962 masterpiece. In the early 1960s Monogram invested in a series of huge 1/8 scale models with extraordinary detail and working features. The complete line consisted of the Big 'T' Street/Rod (this model), Big Drag Competition Roadster, Big Rod Show/Go Roadster, Big Tub Custom Phaeton and Big Deuce '32 Ford Roadster. The Big T molds cost over $100,000 to produce - 1962 money - an absolute fortune at the time. The design work alone for the molds was $40,000. The total cost of the complete 1/8 scale project was over $1,000,000 - in 1963 money. The result was nearly flawless, large American automotive models that has never been equaled to this day.
