The Kellison was one of the first "kit cars". Actually, it was a body kit that could be installed on almost any kind of passenger car frame. Back in those days most cars were of body-on-frame construction rather than the now-universal unit body. So, all you had to do was unbolt the body from your 1954 Ford, or whatever you had, cut the frame to the body's wheelbase, weld it back together, and drop the Kellison body over it. A few of them became race cars, turning up at SCCA races to pit good old American V8 horsepower against the Ferraris and Jaguars. Some survive today on the vintage racing circuit.
This car uses the MRRC/Monogram Sebring chassis. The Sebring chassis is an excellent universal 1/32 scale chassis for use with body kits and for scratchbuilding projects. It can be set up to handle well in both magnet and non-magnet racing. It has an adjustable wheelbase and is compact enough to fit almost any sports car, GT, or sedan body and to allow the use of wide wheels ad tires within even a relatively modest body width.
