Description: If you are of a certain age, The Red Baron needs no introduction or explanation. If not, well, we're not talking about Baron von Richthofen, the renowned German World War I pilot. It was the '60s and over the top hot rods were all the rage. Looking for a follow-up to their very successful 'Beer Wagon' plastic model kit, Monogram's designer found it in a World War I German army helmet. Again, if you were around back then, it's not as weird as it sounds. German helmets were adopted as a sign of rebellion by bikers, surfers, and other cultural outlaws, so it made sense to build a hot rod model around one. Of course, like with the 'Beer Wagon' kit, a real-world version would materialize and just like the model, it too was an instant hit.
Description: International was an American manufacturer of agricultural and construction equipment, automobiles, commercial trucks, lawn and garden products, household equipment, and more. It was formed in 1902 with the merger of several smaller companies. In the '80s, all divisions were sold off, except for the commercial truck division, which received a new name and continues to this day. Given its monumental importance to the building of rural communities, International tractors continue to work American farms every single day, and maintain a massive cult following.
Description: Vintage illustration of the Fokker Dr.1 Driedecker with a portrait of The Red Baron in German, Der Rote Baron, for fans of First World War fighter ace pilots. Great for anyone who loves old war movies, dog-fighting classic aircraft, fighter pilot airplane video games and retro aircraft.
