Ricksha
Wild Chinatown Express

  • Original year: 1970
  • Company: MPC
  • Scale: 1/20
  • Designer: George Barris

CONFUCIUS SAY: Lo, there will come a day when every ricksha will be Chevy powered, have ancient spaghetti exhaust pipes, traditional dragon air cleaner and Samuri sword steering wheel.

OLD CHINESE PROVERB SAY: He who put coolie cap on radiator, turn Samuri sword into steering wheel, put statue at the rear and motorcycle fenders up front, twist exhaust pipes into colossal confusion...he who do all this must surely be cause of the generation gap.
