Coming in 2 painted liveries and 1 plain white body this year, Thunderbird stock car.
Same motor and wheels/tires as the Monte... no lights, 1/32 scale, yes it has an interior, yes it has glass.

I photographed this car for reference for the details (which was my part of this project). Loren Ranier was gracious enough to allow me full access to photograph this car in Kentucky late last year.

Man now do I pick a Ford or a Chevy for 2020 Forums Cup. Doubt they will make a Chrysler Imperial or Dodge Mirada.

I would love for Scalextric to release a limited edition Bill Elliott Ford Thunderbird but understand it probably won't happen due to licensing logistics. I say at least give it a try.

Either way, hats off to Scalextric for bringing us some really cool American based slot cars!
