Does anyone know how the Dover trophy with the winning car model in Miles the Monster's hand is done? Is it a somewhat generic diecast of the winner's car or more of an accurate replica depicting the car that day? Seems like I heard something about it a little while back but can't remember. I'd like to think that there's some modeling involved but don't know.

In the past the car in Miles hand was the winners car. Yesterday it was a #01 car and I never saw what make it was. They may have gone to having one Ford, Chevy and Toyota on hand, each generic #01.....for first place. Pretty sure it's a die cast. When I was in the Lionel store in Concord last week they had decent die cast of all three makes in the $20 range for the simple versions.

i've been looking for this article that talks about the cars for the winners trophy...

i swear it was about one guy...whos job was to create accurate representations of all the cars running for the upcoming race...

that way...no matter who won...they had joe schmoe's car at the ready to stick in Mile's hand on the way to victory lane/circle.
