Fokker DR1 Rear
For this month’s Kickin' it Oldschool build challenge over at LUGNuts, I decided on a World War I era double build...a car modeled after an aircraft. The car is a T-Bucket Hot Rod customized from a 1919 Ford Model-T while the plane is a Fokker DR1 Triplane...the same model as the famous Red Baron. Its stark black and white color configuration matches that of the model that is at the Seattle Museum of Flight. The seats on both vehicles are a lovely dark tan while the dashboard and shifter on the T-Bucket replicates the controls onboard the aircraft. The dark grey carburetor disks matches the plane’s engine heads, the white radiator corresponds with the engine cowling, while the Iron Cross adorns both vehicles.
I grin every time I see these two posed together so I hope you enjoy viewing this double build as much as I enjoyed building them!
