1989 Kroger Grand Prix

Fresh off the bench. My take on Irvan’s 1989 Grand Prix. The JNJ decals didn’t really fit the car, and the few pics of the real car showed it changed a lot, so I just made it my interpretation. Not much more than a 3 footer, but I really like the look of it.

I like it, David! Not sure if I have ever seen this livery on a model before.

Thanks, John! Never seen one either. The decals are old JNJ product. Bobby had gotten a bunch back in the day and sent these to me. May be mor for the Aerocoupe, not sure.

Great looking build David. Like I told you, I saw that car at Phoenix International Raceway in 1988. Very nice replica.

Thanks OC! Had a little trouble finding pictures of the car, and it seems each picture showed a different arrangement of the sponsor stickers. So I just kinda did my own thing. Oh, and I now have a PONTIAC script on the nose.

Don't worry about the exact placement of the contingency decals, as they could change from week to week (or race to race). Those JNJ decals would fit the Monte Carlo Areocoupe and the Grand Prix with equal accuracy. As I said, looks spot on to the car I saw in 1988.
