Portraits of Boxers

Ace Hudkins
The Harry E. Winkler Photographic Collection includes more than 7,500 different boxing related images in various formats. Winkler was a longtime Los Angeles area fight figure and California correspondent for The Ring magazine from 1939 to 1953. He is best remembered, however, for his extensive collection of boxing photographs, many of which were acquired by the University Libraries of Notre Dame in 1977. Highlights of the collection include close to 4000 4 x 5 inch glass negatives, mostly taken in California in the 1920s and 30s. These are typically posed portraits, of individuals or groups; virtually no fight scenes are included. Among the boxers best represented (by more than 30 plates) are: Sgt. Sammy Baker, Newsboy Brown, Tony Canzoneri, Bert Colima, Speedy Dado, Jack Dempsey, Joe Dundee, Jackie Fields, Ace Hudkins, Les Kennedy, Fidel LaBarba, Jimmy McLarnin, Tod Morgan, Tommy O'Brien, Lee Ramage, Baby Sal Sorio, Bud Taylor, and Mickey Walker.

Here come the Zingers!

Here come the Zingers! Wild little vehicles with huge motors and wheels! Perfect for young modelers and irresistible to veteran collectors, the Zingers pack a huge punch in a small package. Featuring many chrome details, these easy to assemble kits look fantastic when built and, for the first time ever, will come with decals for decorating the bodies. Molded in white and black with chrome plated parts. 
The Zingers were taken from an original concept developed in the early 1970s by Denny Johnson, a master model builder during those years. His idea of putting oversized engines and wheels in a smaller scale body was received very well at model contests and custom car shows. MPC's engineering team turned the idea into the Zingers series which grew to a total of eight great kits. The Super Van Zinger looks tough with it's eight injector pipes coming through the roof. Add wheelie bars and a parachute and this vintage van is ready to drag. The kit even includes a special bonus photo postcard of the real Super Van Zinger built by Chuck Miller. Decals included.
