    I copied this from their Mail Chimp announcement... f3757b06-fd5e-455c-8b57-25d973134c54.jpg 706e19ac-3dfb-4373-8af8-54e1131da041.jpg 8ef50353-e4e2-467d-8196-8da78d1f32eb.jpg

    First is our Pacific Electric Hollywood Car shell kit. This one was loosely modeled after the actual prototype and got its inspiration from a 1988 film of a framed rabbit.. ;). This shell kit is designed to fit the Kato power units 11-105, 11-106 or 11-107 (not included). It features lead-free pewter castings, photo-etched stainless steel and brass parts, a cast resin roof, pre-cut window glazing and Microscale decals (decals in the photos are preliminary and not from Microscale). Fully illustrated instructions for assembly and painting make this one a pretty simple build. A lighting kit with instructions is also available separately on our website.

    Now the issues....
    1. The Hollywood Car never had the metal passenger scoop on the front.
    2. This is a shortened model, about half the size of a Hollywood Car.
    3. The car is a good model of the Red Car at Disney's California Adventure.

    Upside...looks like I will buy one or two....

    I have been doing a little research and a TOMYTEC TM-06/06R would be almost a perfect match at 110mm, the Kato shorty B is 58mm, so my original guess of half size was correct
