Oh, yes, I'll be getting a couple at least. The original kit/promo had its share of problems, like the sloping roof and lack of door opening lines in the greenhouse, but it looks like they've been addressed. Just hope the '59 El Camino chassis will be an easy fit.

OK, '60 hubcap:

Uh oh. Hope Round2 can fix the wheel covers before production: The rest looks good, and the grille is a big improvement over the original. The '32 Tudor has a much better windshield frame than the old sedan/Victoria/5-window did - thumbs up on that one. Love seeing the '63 Tempest return - hopefully we'll get a coupe next? The vent windows still aren't quite right but it's not a big problem to fix.

The song may have been popular but not everybody listened closely. When I was working the periodical desk in my high school library, one of my classmates came up and asked for articles about the "Evans Fritzgerald" (this was in '76-'77).

Space Angel and Clutch Cargo brought new meaning to "limited animation"; pretty much nothing moved but the creepy superimposed mouths.

What if you already have health insurance through an HMO? I only pay the price of a new kit per month for it and my prescriptions are covered. Just turned 65 in July and I need to do the Medicare thing in the next couple weeks.

Even the 1/32 All Stars (now Scale Stars) '32 3-window coupe has that quirk.

My boss has been buying cars and antiques from an auction house out here in the CA high desert; they've been reliable and trustworthy up until this past week. He bid on and won a nice 1921 Dodge touring for a pretty cheap price, and I noticed it had no license plates. I looked through the rest of the upcoming lots and there were a bunch of vintage plates listed, but none from '21 . Then I spotted a set of Horseless Carriage plates that looked like they would be correct, last stickered in 1997, and I started smelling a rat. Sure enough, when I checked the Dodge's serial number against the plate number, I found they were for that car, so I called the auction house immediately. I told them what had happened, and politely asked if they would pull the listing as it was obviously a mistake, and the supervisor said no. What the hell? I ended up having to bid $250 to get the plates for my boss and he was furious. When we went to pick up the car and the plates, the title clearly showed the license number. They still wouldn't budge. Later one of the yard workers let it slip that we weren't the only ones who complained - apparently several vintage cars there had their plates pulled off and sold - a friend of mine bought a couple sets and the guy who bought the car one set came from had to buy them back from my friend. I think the DMV would like to hear about this, as CA plates are supposed to stay with the car they're registered to...
