Hi layla schuld, Happy to read you "LOVE IT!!!" :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing. Hope you see many cars on this Channel you enjoy! Please Subscribe, and hit the "bell" so you can see all the cars when they are uploaded on this TH-cam Channel, Lou
Also note the plaque on the top of this car in this video at the Chicago Museum says the builder was Keith "kid" Dean vs the builder Chuck Miller listed in the Wikipedia page but both list Tom Daniel as the designer.. Not to mention Tom Daniels' signature is on most of the toy model boxes from back in the day! Very interesting trivia behind this car! Thanks Lou!

Wow,,,,Fantastic,,, I remember these from the 70s,,, these really were the times of way out customs,,,,
Hi Irfan Khan, Glad to get a "Wow & Fantastic". Brings back nice memories and in full size :-) Lou
When I was a kid, I had a "thing" for the Red Baron. I built the 1/16 scale version as well as two of the 1/24 scale. I also had three or four of the Hot Wheels versions. I even cut the top out of the 1/16 box and stuck it on my wall. I always wanted a chrome helmet that would fit me lol. I recently bought a newer re-issue, but was disappointed to find out it was a re tool. It didn't even have the Tri Plane :( Tuns out that a lot of the original model tooling from Monogram, AMT,MPC , etc were sent to China
Thank you for viewing and sharing Jim E your story too.
The RedBaron Car wasn’t designed to be a Drivers Car it was designed toLook Cool ! the fact that someone made one into a driving Vehicle fully Operational is just a Plus ! Whoever is going to drive it doesn’t care about Comfort or evenSafety it’s all about looking Cool!
Cool it is :-)
Good morning. That is every kids fantasy right there. Beautiful.
Good memories for sure, and in full size :-)
I had the "Big" Red Baron model kit. Instead of the usual 1/24 scale, it was a much larger 1/12 scale and included a Tri-Plane.
Hi Jay Dee, Nice :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
I built that model as a kid!! Very cool!
Nice memories :-)
That’s a very simplistic steering set up. Much akin to the location of the “stick” in an old bi-plane.
Hi Gene Still, Thank you for viewing and sharing your thoughts to add to the story, Lou
It should be illegal to drive it on the road unless the driver had a Shultz Helmet, Colonel Klink’s monocle and a goatee beard. LoL. I love the pea soup out of this rod! I had the model back in the day. Awesome coolness factor here!
Awesome coolness is good with me :-)
Wrong war.
I just bought the 2003 World Race box set which was very expensive. One of the movie cars in the set is the Red Baron
Hi Captain FALKEN, Congratulations of your new Race Box set. If I see them, and the Care Taker is there to discuss them, you'll see them too :-) Lou
Still looks good. THX Lou!!
Hi Ed B., And then......childhood became real :-) Lou
LOU this is just an awesome fun car.
I like it so much.
I wish if I can borrow it for a visit to the beach in Alexandria .
Thanks LOU for sharing this fun awesome car .
Please tell the owner hello and he is very lucky to have this beautiful car.
Thanks LOU for sharing this great video.
I enjoyed watching it.
Please have a great successful business week.
Kind Regards

Hi Hisham Elfiki, Glad you enjoyed this one :-) Hope you have a fun weekend too. Thank you for sharing, and you're welcome, Lou
You produce some fantastic content and have a penchant for detail. I try to let all the ads play so you get maximum revenue. Your stuff is that good.
Thank you Paul Dulworth :-) Your words are encouraging, and I'm glad you're along for the ride with me, Lou
Awesome! A full sized version of a Hot Wheels car"! Sign me up!
Hi TheGunfighter45aco, Glad you're in, and I'll make sure that comes with orange highway too :-) Lou
One of these days I have to get there. My problem is that whenever I go that direction for R&R, I always think Rail Road, and end up in Union at the Illinois Railway Museum (if you ever do a trolley bus episode, that's a good place to go. they run theirs).
I'll have to quit confusing R&R with RR, and get to Volo this Spring.
A WONDERFUL Place, and you'll enjoy your visit, and it's always changing :-)
That is freakin awesome. Couldnt hear ya that well but a really cool car. Thanks Lou
Glad you thought this one is "freakin awesome" :-) You're welcome, Lou
Of course we all had one as a kid
Paul T McNulty Yeah, I had one back in the early '70's.
:-)
Pretty cool car
Happy to read you think this car is cool :-)
Hey iv got the 1/12 scale version !!!
NICE!
There are at least four of these that I know of. One has a Chevy V-8 and of the other three that have 6s, none have the correct exhaust pipes. All nice cars though.
Hi David Rayner, These cars you mention have to be memorable for sure when you see them :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
@@loucostabile Most I've seen have straight six engines but tbeexhaust is always on the drivers side Exactly what engine was this one built with?
I got the re released model kit from 1985 never been open in mint condition
Nice !
Are they more cars of replica. Where WW2 wermacht helmet on the engine. This model have bigger Wheels
Hi jerkan, I believe there are. Hope you see many more cars on this TH-cam Channel you enjoy. Please subscribe, and hit the "bell" so you can see all the cars when they are uploaded on this TH-cam Channel, Lou
Something is wrong here wikipedia's version is the real one built by chuck Miller the front wheels are completely different and the pipes exit the drivers side now I know why he didn't mention chuck Miller's name this car is a fake!
Hi vinny spina, Thank you for viewing and sharing your thoughts, Lou
Also note the plaque on the top of this car in this video at the Chicago Museum says the builder was Keith "kid" Dean vs the builder Chuck Miller listed in the Wikipedia page but both list Tom Daniel as the designer.. Not to mention Tom Daniels' signature is on most of the toy model boxes from back in the day! Very interesting trivia behind this car! I think there really are two versions of the car meaning this one is not necessarily a fake it's just more of a toy..
Why don’t they have the hot wheels world race die cast model on display?
Not sure.
Lou Costabile one of the best hot wheels series. Too bad it got canceled.
I've got the one at 2:15.
Nice :-)
With that being said...
I know, I know...
I had the model and of some of the rat fink cars
Glad this one brought back memories :-)
That's a FORD Six isn't it?
Steve Boros In keeping with the theme of the car, it would be a Mercedes inline 6, like the one that powered a number of German fighters in WW1. However, the plane that the Red Baron is most associated with, the Fokker DR 1 Triplane, had a rotary engine.
No, it’s a Pontiac overhead cam straight six , a great motor that was only built for a couple of years in the 60’s.
Hmmm, not sure. Hoping a Viewer can share knowledge to answer your question.
The one built by Chuck Miller

Nice !
@@loucostabile Pretty bad ass… Also Lou can yoy reach out to Brian at VOLO museum in Chicago and ask him if he's even aware of the Chuck Miller build version And maybe what the differences? I would be curious to know..
The sound sucks on this video
Hi Jeffery Crawford, Yes, a lot going on in the sounds of this video, Lou
Use this conspicuous car to run drugs
The authorities will never see this car coming, good idea :-)
Unfortunately there are at least two versions of this car.. this one here is not quite a “fake” as the previous commenter Vinnie noted 2yrs ago.. However The Wikipedia page is correct the real one was made by Chuck Miller.. It also does drive comfortably with two people in a much bigger cockpit with an octagon steering wheel and the exhaust pipes come out the driver side.. As of 2017 it's in NJ Owned by a gentleman named John that collects movie cars like the Batmobile etc. I saw it on a show called “my classic car” on the motorsports Network MAVTV on DIRECTV… the wiki page says “Seeing the popularity of the kit, Monogram arranged to have a full-size version built. It is currently at the Smith Collection Museum of American Speed in Lincoln, Nebraska” The picture on this Wikipedia page also has the exhaust pipes coming out the driver side unlike the one in this video.. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_Baron_(custom_car) it would be great if someone could dig in and find out which one was at least the one commissioned by the model company.. Also note the plaque on the top of this car in this video at the Chicago Museum says the builder was Keith kid Dean versus the builder Chuck Miller listed in the Wikipedia page but both list Tom Daniel as the designer.. Not to mention Tom Daniels' signature is on most of the toy model boxes from back in the day! Very interesting trivia behind this story…
