Features
The original Li'l Coffin became well known among the American public when Monogram showed it at the 1964 World's Fair in New York City, along with the model kit debut, but its story actually goes back to 1954.
The real life Lil Coffin started life as a 1932 Ford Sedan. Although sometimes credited to Darryl Starbird, the Lil Coffin was actually built by Dave Stuckey, who worked for Darryl in his 'Star Kustom Shop'. Work began on the car in 1954 and went through several major design changes and iterations over the next thirty to forty years.
Monogram President Jack Besser, after seeing the Li'l Coffin at that show, decided that the company needed to offer a kit version of it and so set about not only reproducing it in resin sprue form, but also buying the actual car for promotional use. After Monogram was finished with it, the Li'l Coffin ended up in the hands of Darryl Starbird, who restyled it first into a sedan delivery, then a phaeton, then later as a 1990s-style street rod before restoring it to its 1964 Li'l Coffin configuration in 2009.
Note: Assembly required. Paint/glue not included.
