Luxury Pinewood Derby Inspired Cars

Post by gpraceman »

It wouldn't fit a regulation track, but it is cool looking. Wayyyy too pricey, though.
The Auditorium Toy Co has released a stunning limited edition Pinewood Derby-inspired racer. Only 100 of these numbered $350 boattail beauties are available.

They describe their piece as, "A masterpiece of aesthetic form and function inspired by the slippery lines of early 20th century low-drag coachwork — designs formulated by the science of aerodynamics, yet strikingly gorgeous.

The wooden bodywork is sculpted from rugged 13 ply Baltic birch. The muscular stance comes courtesy of the 77.5 millimeter carnelian-core industrial grade wheels, which float effortlessly on precision bearings. Solid stainless steel axles and fasteners ensure faithful service for generations to come."

Well Randy,
I don't know if you would call the Automoblox cars luxury pinewood derby inspired or not.
However the cars are made of wood as well and might fit on a track.

What type of automobile can be spelled the same forwards & backwards?
