It won the prestigious \"America's Most Beautiful Roadster\" award at the Oakland Roadster Show in 1960 and graced the cover of Hot Rod Magazine in July 1960.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen we pioneered the idea of offering die-cast \"First Shots\" back in 1994, it was very popular with our collectors. Now, Playing Mantis is proud to present this set of beautiful Show Rods First Shots. 8 of George Barris' most famous custom hot rods available in very limited quantities of just 5000 sets. Each boxed pair includes one highly detailed Show Rod with a special dazzling Kady Khrome finish, plus one RAW version of the same model. This is what a die-cast vehicle looks like after it is injected and removed from the mold, and before paint and trim are added. Both cars have been assembled with Real Wheels. Series rubber tires and neither of these rare vehicles will ever be available this way again. These are the very first units off the assembly line.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JOHNNY LIGHTNING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49423538651374,"sku":"363-04-2","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0073\/8761\/1172\/files\/EB22284C-8496-4ACA-A06E-057F5D15C4E1.jpg?v=1786817244","url":"https:\/\/jbarhobbies.com\/products\/1-64-johnny-lightning-show-rods-first-shot","provider":"J-BarHobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
