The "Paddy Wagon" is a Show Rod designed in 1968 by Tom Daniel, probably the most talented and popular fantasy-car designer of all time.
Tom worked many years for GM and in his spare time he created new “Off the Sketchpad” articles for Rod & Custom magazine. This caught the attention of Monogram’s model shop supervisor, Roger Harney, who got approval to have Daniel create new model designs.
Then, from 1967 through 1975, Tom designed over 75 plastic model kit designs that Monogram manufactured, many of which enjoyed multi-million unit sales.
Among these the "Paddy Wagon" that I recreated via LEGO bricks.
Old-time police wagons were called "Paddy Wagons", probably because most cops in those days were Irish. "Paddy" is slang for "Irish".
Main "Paddy Wagon" features:
- "muscular" chromed blown small-block V-8;
- a "C" cab;
- double windshield (glass for Window 1x6x5);
- chrome gold side horns;
- Good Year drag slicks;
- custom silver stickers;
- older-style drum headlights;
- oval side windows barred;
- a Motometer radiator cap.
This is my third Show Rod, the first I built was the Beer Wagon (from the same designer) and then the Fire Truck (by Chuck Miller). Hope you like it!
Thanks for stopping by.

A fellow wearing a Basque-style beret, a sports coat, and breeches posing with a Benz on an Alpine road. The photo was taken in Switzerland, as the following words, handwritten on reverse, explain: "Juli 1930, Klausenpaß Anfang Linthal" (July 1930, Klausen Pass at the beginning of Linthal Valley). The car is registered in the Prussian province of Hesse-Nassau (IT = Provinz Hessen-Nassau). Note the unevenly worn front tires.

Taken at America's Packard Museum in Dayton, Ohio, a place where any fan of Packards or classic old cars should visit.
Boyce MotoMeter made especially for the Ford Car.
The Boyce MotoMeter was patented in 1912, and was used in automobiles to read the temperature of the radiator.
Before the hood ornament came the motometer, an ornate thermometer affair that screwed into the radiator cap; it was intended to keep the driver informed of the engine coolant temperature.
Photographed October 3, 2020 at the Congress of Motorcars on the campus of the Gilmore Car Museum at Hickory Corners, Michigan. The show is held on October 2 and 3 and is for pre-World War II cars only.

Visit to the Open House on October 20, 2019 at the historic Packard Proving Grounds in Shelby Township, Michigan. Packard's proving grounds were on Van Dyke Road about 22 miles north of the center of downtown Detroit. The open house featured several Packards on display, as well as a very large cruise-in on this beautiful autumn day.

Shows nice and big if you click on the photo.
A lighter couldn't fire me like Walmart
Broke when the fall starts
In the game like a false start
Kissing women with a false heart
Depression got me in to more clubs than a golf cart...

The Boyce MotoMeter, patented in 1912, and was used in automobiles to show the temperature of the radiator...
Vanaf 1935 werden bijna alle Wismar-bussen afgeleverd met zwaardere Ford BB-motoren. De oorspronkelijke hoekige radiator werd gelijktijdig vervangen door een sierlijker afgerond exemplaar. In plaats van een opengewerkte voorzijde met geschakelde vijfhoeken werden vertikale traliespijlen in de radiator toegepast. Boven op de radiator is een Motometer als afsluiting van de vulopening gemonteerd. De motometer dient zowel als radiatordop en als thermometer voor het vaststellen van de koelwatertemperatuur. Dit is een exemplaar van het fabrikaat Boyce.
Het gegoten Wismar-fabrieksplaatje is vervangen door een geëmailleerd ovalen exemplaar. Later werden plaatjes met dezelfde vorm maar van aluminium gebruikt.
Dit is een detail van de eerste Wismar-bus van de Delmenhorst-Harpstedter Eisenbahn uit 1936. De motorwagen met fabrieksnummer 20256 is rijvaardig gerestaureerd en rijdt bij de Museum Buurtspoorwegen in Haaksbergen.
Meer Wismar-bussen en details van deze motorwagens vindt u in het album Schweineschnäuzchen.

This car has such a great look. Love all the chrome, the headlights and the motometer atop the grill.
Photographed at the 2016 Antique Automobile Club of America Regional Fall Meet in Hershey, Pennsylvania. This grand event, held during the first full week of October, is so popular that it is usually simply identified as "Hershey". This elegant Packard was part of a display of high-end cars for sale by Hyman Ltd. Classic Cars. The car had been sold, so a price was not shown.

Op de eerste Wismar-railbussen is een rechthoekige radiator toegepast. De opengewerkte voorzijde bestaat uit geschakelde vijfhoeken. Boven op de radiator is een Motometer als afsluiting van de vulopening gemonteerd. De motometer dient zowel als radiatordop en als thermometer voor het vaststellen van de koelwatertemperatuur. Het Ford-embleem op de radiator is in de wagonfabroiek vervangen door een gegoten fabrieksplaatje van de Waggonfabrik Wismar. In het sterk nationalistische Duitsland was het niet gewenst om al te overtuigend aan te geven dat er Amerikaanse Ford-componenten waren toegepast. De motometer is echter wel van een klein Ford embleempje voorzien.
Dit is een detail van de eerste Wismarbus die voor smalspoor geleverd is. Dat is motorwagen T41 van de Steinhuder Meer-Bahn die in 1932 op de baan kwam.
De motorwagen is rijvaardig gerestaureerd en maakt deel uit van de collectie van Deutscher Eisenbahn-Verein. De motorwagen wordt spaarzaam ingezet op de eertse Duitse museumlijn van Bruchhausen-Vilsen naar Asendorf.

The Boyce MotoMeter was a simple device. Although it not always warned about engine overheating in time to prevent damage, it offered for the first time information about the engine temperature from the driver's seat.

The wonderful 1929 Pierce Arrow MotoMeter temperature gauge. Still a neat idea in that you can see the temperature without taking your eye off the road.

Seven members of a German middle-class family posing on the running board of a Benz on a forest road. The words "27. Juli 1932 – im schönen Solling" (July 27, 1932 – in beautiful Solling) are handwritten on reverse. So at the time this photo was taken, the early 1920s Benz was already dated. The winged Moto Meter-type radiator-mounted thermometer was not standard on Benz automobiles. The car is registered in the Free State of Brunswick (B = Freistaat Braunschweig).
