Awesome, was is supposed to be a prototype car or something? From the description on the instruction sheet the answer would be yes .. complete with a 1960 Chrysler 413 ... I'll grab a picture of the description later to day and post it for you..  Starry Eyes |

Cool. Somebody was asking about it on the HAMB, and another guy posted pics but says he got it with a bunch of other models... the first guy was wondering who designed it, or if it was ever, or supposed to be a real car. Any thoughts on that?

Diamond Duster is a same kit, but instead of bubble top it has speedboat style windshield. You can easily have some repair parts from that kit. I don`t know who designed it, but Harry Bradley had same kind of style back in days.

Yep, the original Diamond Duster was molded in Metalflake red .. and the issue of the "GT200" I've got is molded in shiny red plastic .. Here's the description from the 1964 issue I have :  |

Here it is in 1/24 scale slot car form:    This one is complete except for the missing racing stripes. According to "Vintage Slot Cars" by Philippe de Lespinay: "A contract with Sears produced the weird "SC100", a dream car patterned after a concept by Harry Bradley." Marty |
