Team Kool Green
(Brown & Williamson's Tobacco)
1997   Parker Johnstone was the driver of this Kool Reynard Honda #27 Indy Car, for Barry Green.       These were the first models we built in this very distinctive colour scheme, and this Limited Edition build, was commissioned by "Brown & Williamson's ", the tobacco company who sponsor the Kool cars. 
finishing touches
in it's case.. ready to go
1998  Paul Tracy and Dario Franchitti joined Team Kool Green in the #26 and #27 cars, and models were commissioned each year by Brown & Williamson's Tobacco, for both the #26 and #27 cars 
The then new Swift 008.a Toyota Atlantic car, being built in California, was into it's second year. 
Alex Gurney was the driver of that #27 car, being fielded by Barry Green, in the Kool Toyota Atlantic Championship series. 

1/10th. scale models of this car were commissioned by B&W for presentations that year.
Dario and Paul were still together for the 2000 and 2001 season with Team KOOL Green.   2001 also saw the end of the sponsorship from  Brown & Williamson's Tobacco.
Either a Team Kool Green #26, or a #27 car, was on displayed at a few of the race meetings during the Champ Car season.  By participating, in what I understand was a very challenging competition, sponsored by either the team, or their sponsors, it was possible to win one of these 1/10th. scale models.
