Monkees Car and Stage

The Monkeemobile was configured as a drag racer with a parachute on the rear.

This Johnny Lighting car has a nice underside.

The engine is well detailed, the canvas top is not removable.

This The Monkees logo, often done as a gold decal on the door sides.  Johnny Lightning makes both versions.

Mike, Peter, Micky, and Davy.

This car came with this card which was taken from the end credits of the show.  There was a different one for each of the four cast members.

I use the logo as a backdrop.  The base here is a thick piece of plastic cut into a mod stage.  Note the Monkees logo on the drum.  It does not always appear on their drum.
 

Monkee Mobile

In 1966 there was a TV show called "The Monkees."

It was about a rock and roll band of four guys who lived together on a beach house.

They were always broke and always getting into mischief. 

But naturally, since it was 1966 they had a custom automobile, the Monkeemobile.

It started as a Pontiac GTO and was modified by removing the trunk, extending the interior with a third seat.

They made two cars for the TV show.

Over the years several more were made including one for the 45th anniversary special that is essentially identical to the original.

The car often has a stylized logo of the words The Monkees in the shape of a guitar.

It is also often just plain like this version.
 

Hotel Ballroom

Hotel with a juke box on stage.

Part of my hotels project.

Curtains were printed off an advertisement on line.  Black and White is a kleenex box!

Plant is from the dollar store.  Wheelchair is modified from an Atlantic WWII Russian machine gun.  Figures are generic civilians painted up as generic civilians.
 

Salt Shaker

Everywhere you go, keep an eye out for hobby stuff.

I got this item a few weeks ago.

It's a juke box.

Very nice little item.

It's actually a salt and pepper shaker.

Bottom refill plug.

Nice paint job I think.

Race Bannon agrees.
