This is the 1951 Henry J Gasser Drag Addict in 1:18 scale by Acme Diecast.
The 1951 Henry J Gasser “Drag Addict” represents the classic spirit of early American drag racing, transforming Kaiser-Frazer’s small, lightweight economy car into an aggressive quarter-mile machine. The Henry J was an unusual choice compared with the larger Chevrolets and Fords of its day, but its compact dimensions, short wheelbase, and low weight made it an excellent foundation for a gasser, allowing hot rodders to replace the modest factory engine with serious V8 power. The exaggerated nose-up stance raised front suspension, large rear tires, stripped-down appearance, and powerful engine give the “Drag Addict” its unmistakable vintage-gasser character—making it stand out from conventional muscle cars and turning an inexpensive 1950s compact into a purpose-built symbol of American hot-rodding culture.
This exquisite diecast model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish.
Other features include:
● Extremely Detailed Engine
● Moveable and Steerable Front Wheels
● Accurate and highly detailed Interior and Chassis
● Opening Doors, Trunk, and Hood
