1993 Racing Champions 1/87 Transporters, Alan Kulwicki and Davey Allison...


I was working in a retail store when these two racers met their untimely deaths in 1993 and well remember the people flocking in to get models of their cars.

Alan Kulwicki had one of the finer looking paint schemes at the time, second only to Texaco's "Battlestar" paint in my eyes.

Davey Allison's Texaco "Battlestar" paint showed up several times after his death until Texaco got out of NASCAR racing.

Both of these trucks were offered with scale wheels or the more toy like racing wheels. They came as a carded set with the mini car or in a display box without the car. They look good with most HO trucks but scale out slightly smaller than true HO. These were picked up at a local flea market.
