I suppose the rear bumpers and upper quarter panels would give you a leg up on converting a '57 Chevy to an El Morocco. Or you could get really creative: (Quickie Photoshop job.)

What Kits Were Molded in Green?
ChrisBcritter replied to Snake45's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Jo-Han was pretty arbitrary with their colors - my '64 Caddy convertible is molded in a very pale green. -

In case some of us haven't seen them, my Flickr page has this album of blueprints dated 1959 for a three-bay Texaco station, with measurements - feel free to download them and build whatever scale you like: https://www.flickr.com/photos/62734960@N02/albums/72157686504022760 -

Nicely restored little Texaco in Paducah, KY, now a visitors' center IIRC: -
1960 Falcon help
ChrisBcritter replied to Sam I Am's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Hi Sam - No, that's a kit body that has had the B-pillars very cleanly removed. You can see a tiny remnant here of the split between the door frame and pillar: Promo bodies are all hopelessly warped now. The kit chassis also had the information on the bottom like the promo. I've cast the '60 grille as a separate piece from the bumper with the lower part corrected, clear turn signals molded in and headlight buckets added. It will look way better than the one in the Ranchero and can be set back in the body to look more like the real thing. If you have a bumper, I have a spare grille I can send - PM me. -

Anybody collect Mini Lindys?
ChrisBcritter replied to Oldcarfan27's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I have an unbuilt fire engine, a school bus I backdated to vintage with a 1936 Ford truck front end, and there's a Gremlin rolling around here somewhere. I had more as a kid.
