Thank You. I think that this is the one. If anyone has a more clear picture it would be great. I found a patch that has the "Gator" on it that is in question as being the actual character on the sticker. If anyone has a picture of a decal from Gainsville that might have this gator on it it might be worth looking at. I appreciate the help.

[b]Back in the sixties there was a line of models marketed by Hawk. They were a Big Daddy Roth type of caricature. I remember one was a drag race type in a coffin that looked like this.
I have a shot of a similar one - - - ![]()

Dog,
Nice; but I know for sure that is not it. There is anouther one in that series that is more like the decal. it is a "monster" driving an altered. It has the hand above the roof shifter and "keg" gas tank just like the decal. |

Dog,
Look close I and I think that you will see that "Digger" is the "Motion T-bucket Man" The photo on the model box does not match 100% to the original Weird-Ohs prints. But the originals print does match the Motion decal. Hand on shifter, Header coming out of helmet, wheels in air at same angle, and piston flying out of engine! I am in process of making contact with the original artist of "Digger" to see if he recalls doing work for Motion. Hmmm....I wonder if J.R. gets paid royalties off of the model car sales being that all of the logos and artwork are copy writed etc. Anyway I think that you solved the mystery enough for me to end the debate with my body man. Dog You are the Man!! |
