The Red Baron (custom car) explained

The Red Baron is a custom t-bucket hot rod built in 1969.

The project was designed by Tom Daniel and built by Chuck Miller at Styline Customs.[1]

The car was inspired by a Monogram model kit that Daniel had designed which was on display at the 1967 Chicago Toy Fair.[2] Seeing the popularity of the kit, Monogram arranged to have a full-size version built. It is currently at the Smith Collection Museum of American Speed in Lincoln, Nebraska.[3]

It later inspired a Hot Wheels car.
