pepperdrumstix Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I have a question for the kit historians out there. Did any company make a "29 Ford Coupe? I know they made a '29 model A roaster, roaster pick-up, closed cab pick-up and the woody wagon. Any coupes or sedans? I would guess the after market has made one but I don't know what company. Thanks for the answers. Patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) AMT made a '28 sedan (mostly the same car as a '29), kit #2128-150, billed as a replica of Roy Stabnau's national trophy winner. It is a rare bird indeed, and came with the chassis molded with the fenders, plus opening doors, steerable front wheels, folding seats and an optional 426 (non-Hemi) Mopar engine with crossram and 2-4bbls.

Eshaver Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Bill, to clarify things , M P C and ( Former AMT employees ) made the 1928 Ford Model A sedan for AMT in 1965. MPC was formed with former AMT personnel . The 1928 Ford sedan became the 1929 Ford Woody / Roadster Pick Up with a Stroker Mc Gurk character in 1967. Making a 1929 Ford sedan shouldn't present a problem. Just use a Revell 1930 Model A body and mate it on a MPC set of fenders , chassis running gear .

The '28 and '29 were the same, and the '30 and '31 were the same. '28-'29 has the swoopy at the bottom of the cowl ahead of the door... The '30-'31 does not... Fenders, grille-shell, hood and cowl, doors and rear body shell are all different as well. Edited March 9, 2013 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Helferich Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I have seen '28/'29 sedans made by using the Revell '31 sedan with the cowl (doors forward) of the Revell '29 pickup. The ones I've seen pictures of look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entirely possible, but I got 3 very save-able '28-'29 MPC/AMT sedan gluebombs for less than $30, and I recently saw a decent unbuilt kit go for about $35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
