NASCAR Artist, Sam Bass, has teamed with Motorsports Authentics to create one of the most innovative diecast lines ever produced. The Sam Bass Holiday Collection features driver-specific holiday-themed diecast showcasing some of NASCAR’s most celebrated stars and cars. Each collectible is created using the car’s actual paint scheme, then embellished with an assortment of holiday images and graphics created by Bass. Carl Edwards, Kevin Harvick, Tony Stewart, Jimmie Johnson, Mark Martin, Elliott Sadler and Kasey Kahne are the drivers included in this unique new series. Each car in the Sam Bass Holiday Collection highlights the featured driver’s individual personality through Bass’ artistic talents. For example, Santa is shown doing a back-flip on the hood of Edwards’ car. A snowman is snowboarding — much like a surfer — across California-born Johnson’s car. And Kahne’s car, of course, features lots of candy canes and a blue-eyed reindeer. The Sam Bass Holiday Collection is offered in Motorsports Authentics’ most popular 1:24 scale diecast that features both opening hood and trunk and a full complement of detailing. Suggested retail is $66.95. The Mark Martin car is also available in the smaller 1:64 scale version. Each collectible boasts the strict attention to authenticity that has made Motorsports Authentics the industry leader in the racing diecast business. More info at sambass.com.(12-10-2006)
