Description

This was the first car I ever owned and still my favorite of all time. I wish I had kept it, but I didn't. So, I made a CAD model that can be 3D printed which I have on my desk. This model prints out to about 7.5 inches (190.5mm) long, so scale as you like. The wheels move but there are no moving doors/hood/trunk/etc. It's not a perfect replica, but pretty close. I'm the original creator of this model. Just a note on those who plan to 3D print the vehicle: Printing cars with very gradual slope of the hood and trunk can make for some unsightly layer lines, so expect to do some post-processing if you want perfect smoothness. My best results have come from printing it on a 30 degree angle with supports under the body.
