Steve Magnante's Super Models (2021) - Season 1 Episodes and Ratings

Things were very groovy indeed when, in 1969, Detroit's Big Three automakers were actively supporting and sponsoring local Detroit street racers. This is the story of Jimmy Addison's Silver Bullet and the details that made it such a force on Woodward Avenue.

Model building, much like full-size hot-rodding, can be an exercise in imagination and building out your dreams. In this episode, Steve introduces us to the fever dream that is Funny Car Folk Art as he explores the altered-wheelbase movement of the mid '60s, gasser stylings, and the big-block power of the '67 Chevelle.

Steve builds the origin story of the 1960s Wheelstanders movement, the Little Red Wagon. He knows how to make a good kit great as he bashes together the mid-engine wheelie machine that accidently turned Dodge's flailing marketing campaign into a long-running cultural phenomenon.

Steve's feeling a little nostalgic as he rediscovers his long lost love, his 1968 Charger R/T! Referencing his personal photos, he builds a Steve-correct car with primer finish, Racing Green jambs, TorqueFlite trans and wide-by-wider rolling stock.
