Herman "the Turtle" Beam 1960 Ford Starliner
This is a custom built 1960 Ford Starliner of Herman Beam's race car in 1/24th scale from a AMT/ERTL kit. The fans of today don't realize that Herman holds the record for consecutive finishes in NASCAR.
Those Starliners are beautiful cars with that bubble rear glass...one of my all time favorites. It looks life size in the photo!
Great build, and photo. Herman's Starliner is a good candidate, for the history of my REAL, '60 Starliner NASCAR stock car. I found it in the Va, mountains within the last year, and plan to restore it, but first I have to find out WHO, H/M built the car for, in '60.
