Found these at Menards the other day. The details are awesome. I made simple foam tape mounts to put it on a Tyco pan chassis on the long wheel base and it fits nice and snug. (don't mind my rotted front tires...) SG+ looks even better with more narrow back wheels.

Interior is pretty detailed. You could probably use some parts on the slot version:

Others I found: I plan on mouting up all of these and need to find a 4th car.

nice find!

Those bodies work great I have 3 myself :)

Does everyone have 3? How many variations are there?

Lowes Home Improvement store usually sells these Trevco ornaments. I've taken to stopping by the Lowes store within a day or two after Christmas when they are something like 75% off. I wonder if the company that makes these knows they could make a killing by designing these bodies so they fit directly on slot car chassis?

More info ...

They make more than three of these. Walmart has them too.

48 Lowe's Chevy
88 Nat Grd Chevy
88 Amp Chevy
24 DuPont Chevy
9 Kayne Dodge
20 Home Depot Chevy////huh//// I mean Toyota
and
3 Dale Sr. Monte Carlo Chevy

I have aquired all these so far. I sure would like to find a 42 Texaco.

Hehehe...some of you guys are as bad as pokimon collectors...:cool:

These make the point once again that LifeLike really should be able to put the multitude of logos by the front arches on their cars.

i picked up the 29 shell car from kmart tonight

What department did you find the ornament at Kmart? Are they with the Christmas stuff or in the toy area?

How about Lowes and Menards? Where were they?

Thanks!!! Just trying to get an idea so I'm not wandering around the whole store.

In Lowes they are with the seasonal stuff. Look for Christmas decorations, lights, fake trees, and junk like that. The last couple of years they've been using cardboard kiosk style displays instead of putting them on shelves. Trying to find more information about Trevco is kind of difficult. I suspect they are just another ChinaCo supplier.

I need to find a couple of them. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: rr

Can't find the Shell car. Can someone pick a couple up for me for trade? I have some duplicates of the ones I mentioned above.

Lookin for the SHELL car,
Rich

Found some...aint sayin where....waiting for the clearence sale:p

Got a 88 and 48 today at Lowes for 50%off (all Christmas stuff is on sale). My local Walmart has butloads, but didn't see the 42. I'll check after they're on sale after the hollidays and see if anything's left.

Cool!

i went back to kmart and they sold out of all the 29 stuff but still had other cars the cars are in christmas dept

Thanks for the updates. Now I have to make the rounds tomorrow, before and after work.
SlotVV, do you have more pics of your layout?

Add the Walgreens Pharmacy chain to your list of stops. Saw them at a local store last Sunday. Looks like they come in a mixed assortment of driver figure ornaments and these car ornaments. They were in the "Trim-A-Track" aisle. nd

Crimnick - that looks awesome.

Could you send those to Walthers, who are supposedly looking for input from hobbyists, so they can see where their Nascar range should be at?

Why is Jimmy in the back?

Lapping everyone for the 8th time :)

Guess Chad didn't cheat this week...lol

My wife got me the #24 and the green #88 at Walmart for $3.25 each today. They do look very nice. I mounted them on SG+ chassis using the body clips sold by ukafx on his Ebay site.

Thanks for the tips about these guys. What a great forum!

Anyone pick up a #29 Shell car they would like to trade?

PM me

Thanks
Rich

Nuts, it seems HD was out of these (if they even carried them this year...)
Guess I will look at WM and Walgreens while out running around...

I dont have the 29 or 44...

Have doubles of:

24
88
20
