If you were a kid in the 1960’s you probably day dreamed of driving the Red Baron. This was a car that you built models of and bought the Hot Wheels car of to add to your collection. The Red Baron is one of the most iconic hot rods of all time, it was popular on the car show scene during the 60’s and 70’s.
The story of the Baron began in 1968 when designer Tom Daniel was asked by Monogram to design a new model kit. Daniel wanted to design a hot rod but not an ordinary hot rod, he wanted to make something wild and unique. He found inspiration for his design within Southern California rodding and surfing culture. In the 1960’s So-Cal hot rodders and surfers wore German WWI helmets as a symbol of rebellion. These helmets were produced and sold by hot rod legend Ed “Big Daddy” Roth. Daniel took one look at those helmets and knew one would look great on top of a T-bucket.
”One of my most exciting projects was building the Red Baron show car in 1968. Commissioning car customizer Chuck Miller from Detroit was a stroke of luck, as he showed great genius in building the stunning vehicle. The Red Baron show car was an instant hit and number 1 attraction among hot rod enthusiasts. The Red Baron has not only stood the test of time, but still is growing in popularity today.
It gives me great pleasure to introduce the "Red Baron" guitar by Hallmark Guitars USA with special Red Baron show car appointments built right in!”
