History:

The Chris-Craft Cobra, an iconic speed boat renowned for its distinctive appearance from the era of big fins and wings, was produced for only one year in 1955. With a total of 106 units manufactured, including 55 1955 chris craft cobra boats at 21 feet and 51 models at 18 feet, this marked the company's initial venture into fiberglass experimentation, featuring a notable gold engine cover with a fin. Moreover, they all had the same bottom part, but the company added either a big Cadillac engine or a Hemi Chrysler engine. This made it a super fast classic boat!

Despite expectations of limited sales due to its seating capacity and overall utility, the Chris-Craft Cobra has evolved into a highly sought-after classic. Its striking design and limited production render it a prized collector's item, with the 21-foot model being particularly coveted. This boat not only encapsulates the aesthetic charm of its era but also serves as a testament to the enduring allure of this remarkable watercraft.

Comment: I purchased this display case for my Munster Figurines. I measured the tallest one which was Herman at15.6". I read the measurements for this case and the height was supposed to be inside 16". It is barely 15". This is not a cheap product and it should have been exactly the size they claim. Everything else is great! No scratches. Easy to assemble. Just not the right size!

Comment: This model case is is entirely fine as to quality and ease of assembly but anyone (like me) who might thinking about ordering the thing based on the stated inside height dimension of 16.5 inches needs to know that the actual inside heigh dimension when assembled is 14-3/4” or a full 1-3/4” shorter than stated in the offering. For the “speedboat” that this case is designed/marketed for that difference probably doesn’t matter, but I ordered the case to house an eBay model of the SS Stavangerfjord steamship ocean liner which has two tall masts requiring a 16-1/4” to clear with the model on a regular wooden base with finial supports. And of the case therefore could not accommodate the model I intended it for--by a full 1-1/2”. I registered my complaint about this with Amazon seeking authorization for return including shipping costs and am assume this would be authorized, but since doing that I found that if I took the ship model off of its base/finial supports and cut a slot for the rudder sticking down below the keel line of the hull, the thing would fit into the case with a hair’s breadth at the top above the masts--with the ship sitting directly on the case base instead of on supports. So I am not going to pursue my refund--and end up being very satisfied with this quality case. But having to remove the model from its base is a little unusual and would not have been necessary if the inside dimension had been the full 16.5” that was advertised. I also find it very frustrating that the system for selling here did not provide any way to contact the actual manufacturer or vending company to talk about the problem--including the possible alternative solution of drilling holes in the top to let the masts stick out. Even the catalogue of products from the same vendor the came with the case lists only a phone number for Amazon itself. Why can’t customers be allowed to contact their vendors when they need/want to? I find it easy to dialogue with vendors when I buy through eBay (by e-mail, not phone, to be sure). Why not here?

Comment: The inside dimensions in the description on the length is OFF by a full inch! It is 35 1/2 inches, not 36 1/2. The base had significant scratches, more than expected, but a quick rub with stain/sealer worked great. The problem is that my model of USS Arizona is nearly 35 1/2 inches long so it barely fits. Shipping was extremely slow and at one point it was listed as possibly lost by Amazon. The color is actually a red mahogany stain vice the dark/black cherry in the description photos. Packing was pretty good. Had I known this was shorter than advertised I would not have ordered this case.
