The dealers would buy a few dozen \u00e2\u20ac\u0153coasters\u00e2\u20ac\u009d for the showroom floor and stock friction drive models to give away with the purchase of an actual vehicle. These toys had metal bumpers, hard rubber wheels and a tin chassis. With normal play they were practically indestructible! I found a box of coasters in an auction in a variety of conditions including the one you see here. I restored this one to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153showroom\u00e2\u20ac\u009d condition and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll show you how I did it in my Step-by-Step Project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">For the Modeler: This model, by MPC(?), appears to be a 1950 Ford in period green metallic which I chose to restore because of the body damage and missing parts. The plastic used was a thick fibrous amalgam that made body repairs easy \u00e2\u20ac\u201c just like the original thick-skinned car. The front end is a massive chromed white metal piece made to take some abuse. In this project body repair, foiling, resin casting, detailing and window repairs are fully examined.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff; font-size: small;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/?p=1563\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Donations Humbly Accepted<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">*All Registered trademarks are the property of their respective brands.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>  This is an RoR Project build by Doug Cole of the MPC 1\/25  \u00e2\u20ac\u212250 Ford promo car by Doug Cole for Right On Replicas, LLC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[902,908,901,903,907,909,904,905,906,223,210],"class_list":["post-1639","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-projects","tag-1949-ford-promo-project-review","tag-1950-ford-promo-project-review","tag-49-ford-promo-project-review-review","tag-49-ford-promo-restoration","tag-50-ford-promo-project-review-review","tag-50-ford-promo-restoration","tag-plastic-model-restoration","tag-promo-resto-project","tag-promo-restoration-project","tag-rightonreplicas","tag-ror"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1639","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1639"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1639\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1644,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1639\/revisions\/1644"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1639"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1639"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1639"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
