Chrysler did this with the 3/8 scale race car wind tunnel models in 1968.   They had detailed chassis pans and even a fan powered by an electric motor under the hood.

first gen 3/8 scale

Chrysler had a model shop internally that did the 3/8 scale cars.   In the case of the '68,  they drove the full size race car down a hall to get it in the building.

Did the 1st gen model survive?

Did the 1st gen model survive?

yes, it did...presently in the hands of a private collector, and not for sale

Cool.  Hopefully he will display it once in awhile.

[GOTWING]

it would be cool to get all of the models together at Carlisle etc. in one of the buildings!

Cool.  Hopefully he will display it once in awhile.

Are they missing?  I would have thought those modern ones were kept better track of.
