Roger had assigned me this project so I was looking for the biggest bang we could get. The prototype had every bell and whistle we could think of. The door glass worked as did the rear glass. Gas door opened and even the radiator cap popped off to reveal fluid. There were multiple versions which included Belvedere, Savoy and Plaza. There was also a convertible Belvedere. The coup’ de graz was Christine which came with a display…the garage. The Christine model lacked trunk detail-this is where the electronics were hidden. The base of the garage was to be a Plymouth radio dial that would work mysteriously. Turn it on and it glowed, you heard the engine start, then smoke, then the car bursting thru the doors with the lights on. Music changed when you pushed the buttons. All the songs were from the book. When you turned it off the car backed into the garage and the lights went out. Just when you thought it was over, the radio came on and the lights went back on…then the door shut. We had a working garage prototype and were hammering out the details when this was killed completely. I had completed a proto review and returned the model It looks like FM used the 43^rd model to make their version and this one just got lost.
