Is this a customized, built from scratch street car? Or did WDI modify an already mass-produced streetcar? Is this G scale by any chance?

Built from scratch, most likely. They do that with pretty much everything.

Considering it's a selectively-compressed model of a Hollywood car, I believe it was scratchbuilt.

Didn't know if we had an official DCA Redcar thread or not, so I'm sticking it here:
A quick clip on the DCA Red Cars

Do you guys smell that? I smell inspiration for a future modeling project... ;)

I'm glad the clip shows Ray Spencer - the primay impetus behind the Red car, and the art diector on the Ward Kimball rebuild. A true railfan.

That would make a nice selling model. That is if anyone could convince the Parks merchandise folks to make one... But that's the problem with synergy, isn't it? :shock:

Well, there is the store on the new Buena Vista street called Carolwood Trains, Craft & Hobby, so you never know! (Of course they can just load it with those crummy New Bright sets and Monorail sets...)
