Hot Rod Pick-up
"Orange Peel"
Vehicles like the Pick-up, the commercial work trucks of their era, were found to be ideal hot rods
presenting unique features and plenty of room. The same talents used to "soup up" cheap roadsters proved
just as appropriate for the pick-up with Hot Rod parts that improved both looks and performance. Few cars
were better suited for customizing.
This new Minicraft Pick-up features a hot rod flat head V-8 engine; triple carburetors, custom exhaust, and
"racing" rear axle custom wheels and wide custom tires and new custom decals. This kit includes unique
operating futures like opening doors and full interior.
Enjoy building the Hot Rod Pick-up and thanks for your purchase of this Minicraft Models model kit!
