Its long body and low-slung chassis made it perfect for short straight-course races. The exceptionally light 2-door model came with a 245 horsepower V-8 &#8211; more than enough power to boost the &#8217;57 to victory after victory. With racing slicks, the Custom could beat most cars of the day in straight drag. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>For the Modeler:<\/b> The 1957 Ford kit was worth the wait.\u00c2\u00a0 This was one of the best kits that I have built in years.\u00c2\u00a0 Everything from the molding to chrome, clear parts etc. were perfect.\u00c2\u00a0 This was the fastest that a model has gone together for me in a long time.\u00c2\u00a0 I have to say that Revell really hit a home run with the 57 kit.\u00c2\u00a0 The only item that I feel that Revell could have done was to supply white wall tires instead of white wall decals.

It can be built into a stock or drag version but is Revell skill level 3 kit for ages 12 and up. The kit includes 129 pieces molded in white, transparent red, and clear with chrome parts and soft rubber tires.
