In Topic: Just Two Facts...

After the last few post I'm not quite sure what to say, but here goes.  1.......I too grew up as an army brat and lived everywhere from Japan to France,where I graduated highschool in 1964(Made it to the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1963 and 1964). Fifty years ago this year(If I remember correctly ferrari took eight of the first ten places in 1963). You never forget the sound of the cars coming down the hill into the esses. 1964 was Dan's year. Oh yeah!       2.......Been married for 45 years and my loving wife still thinks my plastic habit is a fun thing for me. How great is that?  Richard

And then there were the '49 Oldsmobile and '50 Studebaker announced but never released by AMT back in 2000....

 Wasn't that the same time they were going to come out with the 1962 ford galaxie?

If I remember right wasn't there a 4 track before the 8 track ? 

I had a four track/eight track craig stereo in my 61 corvair monza that I had put in sometime in 1968. I miss it and the car to this day. Richard

A few years ago AMT came out with the 71 and 73 Mustang kits at the same time. I wanted the one with the rear window louvers. The box for 73 showed them while the 71 box didn't. I bought the 73. Yep! you guessed it. The kit that showed them didn't and the other kit did. I was just a little P.Oed. No, I didn't buy the other kit. Richard
