Rattler
Fork-Tounged Street 'n Show Rod

  • Original year: 1975
  • Company: Monogram
  • Scale: 1/24
  • Designer: Tom Daniel

This venomous vehicle is as sleek as a snake. From the rattler decal and snake-eye windows on the rear to the forked tongue in front, this reptilian rod is loaded with custom goodies like the plush interior with high-rise contour seats, the special wheels with Goodyear street skins and the sweeping rear fenders. But to really rattle your cage, Tom Daniel took a big deadly Pontiac mill, topped it off with a six-pack of big Webber jugs and then stuck it in the engine-well tipped way over to one side at a rakish angle. Beware of the Rattler...it's a wild one!

Dave's comments:

One of the last far-out showrods of the Tom Daniel era, this rod has a great combination of low styling, great decal graphics and fun detail.
