The Predicta Project
Another book and project in the planning stage will focus on Darryl Starbird's Predicta. The first-privately created custom automobile with a bubble top, the Predicta set the custom world on fire.
The Predicta Project will include a full length, hard-cover book that will include hundreds of photographs and a full section on the many versions of the model kit that have been presented by Monogram Models since 1964. The model section will include photographs of a diorama of two Monogram historic scenes -- the initial model planning session in the Monogram backlot and a post-restoration photo session. Additionally, The Custom Styling Studio division of Championship will offer an advanced 1/24 scale detailing kit for a corrected resin kit.
The Predicta Project enjoys the enthusiastic approval and support of Darryl Starbird, and will benefit from extensive interviews with Monogram kit engineer Roger Harney, one-time Monogram President and founder Bob Reder and Darrell Zipp who won the real car in model contest presented in Model Car Science Magazine (while an employee for Revell, a competitor to Monogram).
