2 Chip Foose Cars Win Fan Vote for Revell Model Kit Production - PR Newswire (press release)
/PRNewswire/ -- With more than 10,000 votes cast in a survey to determine which of seven Chip Foose custom car designs will be brought to market as all-new Revell scale models, the winners are Foose's iconic 1956 Ford F100 Pickup & 1948 "Eldorod"... Both vehicles will be released by Revell as all new model kits in late 2016, providing the market's first authentic scale replicas of the two winners. The 1956 Ford F100 Pickup – a Foose family heirloom that was completely rebuilt and restyled in 2005 as part of Foose's " Overhaulin " television show – took top honors with 33% of the vote. The other candidates were Foose's 1934 Ford Mercury-inspired "Stallion," 1935 "Grand Master" Chevy Master Sedan, 1936 "Impression" Ford based roadster, 1965 "Impostor" Impala, and his legendary Hemisfear custom supercar coupe. "As it turned out, fans wound up choosing two completely different kinds of vehicles – a pickup and a Cadillac – and that will make for great variety in model building when these kits hit store shelves. "The fact that this survey generated more than 10,000 votes demonstrates how passionate people are about both Chip's custom car designs and model car building," said , Vice President of Marketing, Mass Market, for Revell parent company Hobbico.
