Futurista
Three Wheel Delta Volkswagen

  • Original year: 1965
  • Company: Monogram
  • Scale: 1/24
  • Designer: Darryl Starbird

The Futurista with only three wheels, a new shape, one headlight, double bubble top, and scads of fascinating working features, is a most exciting car model. It's a beautiful model too, long, slim and uncluttered with an unusual and completely detailed interior including contour seats and streamlined head rests for two. Highly detailed and plated Volkswagen engine in rear shows through clear top and may be removed and placed on display stand included in kit.

Dave's comments:

Outstanding original design again by Starbird. This is the 1967 reissue and it's still sealed. This model was scaled from a full-sized car designed and built for Monogram in 1965. In an unusual touch, the engine can actually be removed and placed on a display stand that comes with the kit.
