The car that started off the hit T.V. show Miami Vice was this beautiful Daytona Spyder. This was the car Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs used for the first three seasons. This model kit is a must have for anyone and especially for T.V. and movie enthusiasts. The real surprise was that this was not a Ferrari, but rather, a kit car body on a Chevrolet Corvette frame. Ferrari sued and supplied the studio with a replacement after a couple episodes into the third season.

For the Modeler: This is the Miami Vice Daytona Spyder Revell Model Kit #85-4917. It is a 1:24 scale kit that has a skill level 2 rating. The 78 pieces are molded in; white, chrome, clear, black vinyl tires and waterslide decals. Finished dimensions are: Length: 7 7/16″ inches, Width: 3”  Height 2¼“ with the top up and 2” with the top down. This model features a detailed High Performance Chevy V-8 with dual exhaust and the option to build convertible top in the up or down position.
