Museum Reveals Beautiful Dave Shuklis '32 Ford at NNL East

A Dave Shuklis model not seen in decades is shown at NNL East in 2024. Randy Derr, Bill Barrett, Rich Morgan, Paul Anagnostopoulos and Doug share memories on this latest addition to the Shuklis collection at the International Model Car Builders' Museum in Salt Lake City. Recently donated by Jim Baker, who rescued the 1:8 scale model while working at AutoWorld in his youth, this stunning piece of modeling history shows the innovative thinking of one of the scale model car hobby's pioneers.

Unbelievable. You Finally did probably the best One ever. Dave Was a personal hero of mine. Is articles in auto world and car model was basically how I got started when I learned of his Passing. In 1972 I cried.

Legendary Dave Shuklis, I believe the body was made from balsa, I have the articles I believe in Car Model magazine

[@sgtcharlie2512]

was this car made from balsa wood? plz I know what this model is, I built one when I was 15,16,17, I do not remeber when, 1964 I think. This was built from articles in a model magazine. The model was made to fit tha big "T" I built the model, trying to find the articles. I"m 77 years old, I would like to build another one.
