●スケール:1:18 ダイキャストモデル ●メーカー:Greenlight ●1960年代にMr.Norm(ボトム画像)がスタートしたダッジディーラー、Grand-Spaulding Dodge。当時は、イリノイ州シカゴ郊外にあった。現在は、オレゴン州にて営業中。ダッジモデルのチューニングを得意とし、現在もダッジディーラーでは有名がチューナー。 モデルの440 Six Pack とは、7L V6 エンジン。Six Pack はビール缶が6本セットにて販売されていたことから、V6 の大排気量でハイパワーエンジンは、かつて、その愛称がついていた。 .Starting in the early 1960s and continuing through the muscle car era, there was a very famous Dodge dealership based out of the west side of Chicago, Illinois, and it was called “Grand-Spaulding Dodge.” Over the years, I had opportunities to sit down and talk with Mr. Norm all about the glory days and it was such an interesting story, and it was directly from the source! The dealership, the action at the drag strip, how it all came about and some fond memories. There’s a lot to be learned by this story, as it tells the tale of how Detroit came to get the youth charged up about automobiles – in this case, Dodge vehicles – and how the scene was different in this timeframe, everybody was “car crazy” and the dealers that were smart enough to reach out and market to this young group experienced a lot of sales; and Grand Spaulding Dodge did it like no other.
