Model History

Designer and Inspiration:

The Street Rodder was designed by Bob Rosas. It is based on a 1930s Ford, heavily customized into a T-bucket style hot rod.

Historical Context and Production Years:

The casting first appeared in 1976. The model number 9242-e corresponds to a 1982 release in the "Real Riders" series.

Unique Aspects:

The casting features a large, exposed front engine, a small pickup-style bed, and a diecast metal body and chassis. The 1982 Real Riders version came in metalflake blue with flame tampos and featured rubber Real Riders tires on chrome hubs.

Similar Castings:

It is similar in concept to other T-bucket castings like the "T-Totaller" or the "Breakaway Bucket."

Variations and Special Editions:

The initial 1976 Redline release was yellow. The casting has been produced in many colors over its long history.
