Hubert Platt, the Georgia Shaker, was known for his great looking, strong performing cars, his on-track showmanship, and his off-track flair. He was called a "controversial racing showman" in local racing newspapers as early as 1962. Hubert raced many "georgia Shaker" cars but none came close to the Thunderbolt! Fords Total Performance program was well underway when the order was sent to build a batch of special lightweight Ford Fairlanes. Stripped to their essence, painted Wimbledon White and stuffed with 427 cubic inches of Galaxie V-8, the cars were dubbed Thunderbolts, and they struck factory experimental drag racing like lightning. Huberts beautiful Thunderbolt Shaker is recreated in all it's glory in this 1:18th scale replica. MADE FOR GMP BY AUTO WORLD 1 OF 1000
