"America's Most Beautiful Roadster" is the title won by Bob Reisner's Invader. Two Pontiac GTO engines power the real Invader and are reproduced to scale. Textured, simulated velvet upholstering. Kit includes clear windshield, simulated headlights and tail lights.

Dave's comments:

Bob Reisner built six California show cars (all real rods!) Eldon originally made the models for each one. Eldon eventually sold the rights to reproduce 5 of these models to the Japanese modeling company "Doyusha". They are the ones pictured above. The one not pictured is the Eldon Sand Draggin. I own the complete set of six. Of the six rods, this one is easily the toughest-looking one, The instructions come in both English and Japanese. I'm going to build them all using the Japanese instructions because I like a challenge. See the Milk Truck next.
