Mid to late 60's vibe is correct, decal from the same period. Not from a dragster tho. Its not molded in blue. This one is much smaller than the wing on the Jeb Allen digger. Big hint: this kit was issued once. Repeat, only once!

I want to guess it's from a Japanese manufacturer, like Otaki or Nichimo, as I recall they made a few late-'60s Can Am-ish kits.

No, its all American. It is late 60's though.

I think I need to start looking at 1/32 scale stuff...

Let me know when another hint is appropriate. I thought everyone knew this kit ![]()

I guess I'll kick myself when I find out. Is it a full bodied passenger car, or something else?

Not "full bodied", not a race car. HInt: had something to do with a spark plug. If that doesn't give it away, I'll just post a pic and someone else can go! Ya know, when the game gets too difficult, everyone gets bored or frustrated. I thought this would be a walk in the park compared to that Freuhauf Tanker hatch I posted. Its been 3 days. At 6-ish I'll post the pics. Some of you old guys might say " Oh geez, I remember that"

Thanks. Have to admit I didn't know it, but the spark plug clue made me think of that kit. I'll post something in a little while.

Ok, here's my part. It's not from the '55 Nomad kit.
