Series Sense

Ok so you’ve bought a couple Foose Design or Rock Rigs vehicles and you really want to know, “What are the other cars in the ______ Series?” We’ll do our best to shed some light on this very question here.

We broke each line down into a variety of sub-sets. Each series represents a set of vehicles with a common theme. Themes like Foose Design, Foose Classics, Overhaulin’ or FT Unit are found on the packages and trading cards. One thing is simple, there is always 5 or some multiple of 5 cars in a series. That means your car can be 1/5 or 2/10 or even 14/15. With this base 5 concept in place we tried to create interesting groupings of vehicles in both the Rock Rigs and Foose lines. Themes that appealed directly to the target audience and had an automotive feel. No Clowns, Wrestling or Candy Bars here.

For the Foose Design line there are 6 Series:

Foose Design / 10 cars
Overhaulin’ / 10 cars
Artist Series / 5 cars
Foose Classics / 5 cars
Foose Paint / 5 cars
Under construction / 5 cars

The Foose Design Series is a series that captures real Foose vehicles as he has customized them at the Foose Design Studio in Huntington Beach. This series features some of his Ridler and AMB award winning cars like Grandmaster and Impression along with: Foose 69 Camaro, 2 2006 Stallion Mustangs, 1970 Chevy Blazer, the “Sick Fish” 70 ‘cuda he designed for Joe Rogan on Rides, His personal ride a 2005 Ford F150 a yet to be seen 2007 Escalade EXT and the recently unveiled Hemisfear in JLFT Green.

The Overhaulin’ Series is an incredible collection of Chips work from the wildly popular TV series which has propelled Foose into a household name! This series will continually evolve as new cars come out but there are just 10 in the first of our Overhaulin’ Series. 1967 Mustang, 1970 Monte Carlo, 1970 “Gambler” Mustang, 1956 Nomad, 1952 “Butterscorched” GMC Truck, 1971 Challenger, 1971 Chevelle (the first ever Overhaulin’ build!), 1970 Camaro, 1965 Impala, and last an incredible 1968 Roadrunner which looks amazing in person!

The Artist Series captures many of the cars the way Chip originally intended them to be! Hey when you’re building a car for a client you don’t ALWAYS get your way. What might the Grandmaster have looked like had it been squirted in Chip’s signature pearl orange? Or how about the 1970 “Sick Fish” ‘cuda layered in Red and Black combined with the silver? Now you’ll know what these ride MIGHT have looked like if Chip had his way. Also available; Hemisfear (in Foose Orange), Impression, and a 2006 Stallion Mustang.

The Foose Paint Series brings to life some killer paint schemes designed by Chip himself! Working with the JLFT Designers, Chip had 5 blank canvases to create some new masterpieces. Could these miniatures make their way to the street? Chip has winked at the idea. In the mix: 1967 Ford Mustang, 1970 Camaro, 1969 Camaro, 1970 Mustang, 2006 Dodge Viper.

Our Under Construction Series captures Chip and his team at key points int ehir builds. Many fabricators and body men love the car right after all the body work is done and there is no paint on the car. Chip also will often lay graphics down on primer before the final paint is done to get an idea of what might finish off his latest creation. The Under Construction Series give you a peek at these special moments. Still being built: 1971 Chevelle, 1971 Challenger, 1956 Nomad, 1952 GMC Truck and 1970 Ford Mustang.

Last, the Foose Classis Series celebrates Chips love of wheels. Together with MHT Chip has created a line of rims that are contemporary yet classic combining the look of some retro styled rims modernized with a Foose flair. Each of these vehicles rolls large on the street. Try and catch the 1970 Monte Carlo, 1965 Impala, 1970 Chevy Blazer, 2006 F-150 and a 2007 Escalade EXT.

Also be on the lookout for some special chase models of the Impression, Grandmaster, Hemisfear, ‘cuda and more. Some shod in special colors or chrome and all limited to 2% of our production run. These models will not be ont he pegs when you come back tomorrow so take out that ATM card and buy it if you see one! We promise not to tell you wife, girlfriend or mom!
