Proud owner of the wild yellow '40 Ford Sedan Delivery featured in this
kit, Gene Winfield is one of the truly big names in automotive
customizing. Gene's career goes back to the early days of custom cars
and among his many innovations is the art of "fogging" or blending
different colors smoothly for fantastic paint effects. Gene has built or
painted everything from dragsters to Detroit "dream cars." A few of his
own creations include the "Strip Star," "Jade Idol", and "Reactor." in
the 1960s, Gene moved from his Modesto, California shop to head AMT's
Speed & Custom Division in Phoenix, Arizona. In addition to
building AMT's famed full-size "kit car," the gull-wing Piranha coupe,
Gene has designed and built special vehicles for television, movies and
the the auto manufacturers for over half a century. All the original
parts have been restored for this truly special edition of Gene's 1940
Ford Sedan Delivery.
