Beautifully crafted in 1:18 scale by Replicarz, this is the 1948 Blue Crown Special as piloted to victory at the Indianapolis 500 by Mauri Rose. This would be Rose's 2nd consecutive win at the brickyard and the 2nd of 3 consecutive wins for the Blue Crown team. This Replicarz Exclusive line model will set new industry standards with its multi material construction. The body is resin cast, but the opening hood is stamped metal allowing access to the engine bay. By removing the real leather hood straps will reveal the fully wired and plumbed engine. Highly detailed cock pit with glass faced gauges, visible drivetrain, and gas/brake/clutch pedals. Accurate suspension components, wire wheels, and authentic race day paint and decoration will make this a stand out in your Indy collection. Very limited edition, order yours today.

It brings great memories of listening to the race
In 1948, at age 13, I was already into racing and the Blue Crowns were my favorites. I remember listening to the race on my dads Zenith Trans-Oceanic portable radio at about 50 pounds!. This is the first of Replicarz Indy winners in 1/18th scale I gotten, although I have a few of the 1/43rd versions. This one has me convinced Ill get more. The details are well done and just right. The metal-essence blue paint is perfect as are the graphics, especially the small decals on the sides and the Firestone Deluxe Champion white lettering on the tires. And the model has an innovative hinged latch system on the hood latches that makes it easy and safe to release the hood to display the well-detailed engine. I currently have this model on display with some CMC Ferraris and the Maserati 250F. One of the things that stands out to contrast the cars of two eras is the size of the wheels and tires on this Blue Crown car. I was amazed at how large the wheels and tires were in the 1950s. Because of this, Im planning to add more 1/18th Indy cars so they can be displayed with cars of their own time. This one, at least, deserves its own special place.

Blue Crown Special #3
I received my 1948 winner and am so impressed. It is so correct in detail. I saw Mauri Rose in a similar car in 1949 at Indy. He wrecked in front of me and my father in the southwest turn.. Maybe the same car.
