The Red Baron (custom car)

After being displayed at the 1967 Chicago Toy Fair[2] the popular model kit hit the shelves in 1968 selling over two million units.

Bob Larivee worked with the Monogram Company to have the car built by Styline Customs.

While the original model featured a 1914 Mercedes-Benz inline 6-cylinder engine, the full-size car received an OHC Pontiac 6-cylinder.

The Red Baron can be seen on display at the Smith Collection Museum of American Speed in Lincoln, Nebraska.
