Hauling 400 Cases from Texarkana: Cledus "Snowman" Snow's Kenworth W900A Rig
Every mile of the 28-hour Texarkana-to-Atlanta run in the 1977 film Smokey and the Bandit depended on one rig: Cledus "The Snowman" Snow's black-and-gold Kenworth W900A 18-wheeler loaded to the roof with 400 cases of bootleg Coors banquet beer. The Smokey and the Bandit Snowman's 400 Cases Bootleg Run Building Set translates that heavy-haul icon and its Texas warehouse loading dock into an interactive ABS brick display model. From the long-nose conventional tractor cab with its vertical silver radiator grille and twin perforated chrome-style exhaust stacks to the refrigerated box trailer behind it, the build captures the unmistakable silhouette of 1970s American interstate trucking.
Rather than sealing the trailer as an empty hollow shell, the right flank of the black reefer box features a hinged gullwing upper inspection hatch paired with swing-out side doors. Opening those panels reveals rows of desert-tan cargo crates printed with vintage Coors BEER markings stacked neatly on reddish-brown brick pallets. A separate red-brick loading dock platform and a rolling safety-yellow warehouse forklift with a black roll cage let you stage the exact Texarkana depot loading operation right beside the parked rig.

Western Stagecoach Trailer Artwork and Functional Dock Mechanics
Along the trailer walls, a full-color Wild West mural depicting a galloping horse-drawn stagecoach across desert mesas is framed in tan-gold pinstriping that matches the striping along the Kenworth hood and sleeper cab. Mechanical touches-including cylindrical silver saddle fuel tanks, five amber roof marker lights, dual air horns, a front-mounted trailer refrigeration unit, and tandem rear axles-give the model authentic big-rig presence on a bar shelf, office credenza, or collector cabinet.
- Working Cargo Access: Gullwing top hatch and swing-open side bay doors allow the yellow forklift's tines to slide full brick pallets of printed Coors crates directly into the trailer interior.
- Screen-Accurate Character Roster: Includes three minifigures-Cledus "Snowman" Snow in his blue-and-white trucker cap and brown vest, Bo "Bandit" Darville in his cowboy hat, and Sheriff Buford T. Justice clutching a CB radio handset-plus Snowman's loyal Basset Hound, Fred.
- Precision ABS Construction: Molded from lead-free, BPA-free ABS plastic compatible with standard building brick stud systems, ensuring tight clutch power across the articulated fifth-wheel hitch and hinged trailer doors.
Designed for adult builders and cinema collectors aged 16 and up, the kit arrives with a spiral-bound, full-color instruction manual and a wood-bordered studio nameplate so you can enjoy a methodical tabletop build before parking the completed 18-wheeler on display.
