mchook Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I got this old Ford in a lot of junkers and I thought it was an old AMT 66 Galaxie but when I compared the two they're not the same. Anybody Know what kit it was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchook Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Sorry guys I had a brain fart. I just realized it's a Fairlane not a Galaxie. DUH on me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share Posted March 5, 2022 This front bumper looks '70 Barracuda-ish, but the two mounting tabs look unfamiliar. Molded in red plastic, so maybe MPC? Also, this bumper, which is definitely smaller than the 1/24 Monogram Squarebody Chevy C/K series bumper on the top, but looks very similar, but much shorter in height: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Barracuda front bumper is Jo-Han. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Sikora II Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Smaller bumper might be the rear from a late MPC Dodge van. There was a '82 (I think???) annual called Ram Van or similar that was molded in red. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted March 7, 2022 Author Share Posted March 7, 2022 A fender/running board piece from...? I think I've ruled out the Revell T-bone Stake and it's relatives, as well as the MPC Big Rig Rod. Front fender is tweaked inward a bit: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldcarfan27 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 (edited) Just received a bunch of wheels and caps from Casey. Need help identifying where some of them came from. Ive got a bunch of 'em, so I'll label them by group and number to make callouts easier. Group A #1 says Imperial around the sides. What year? #3 & #4 are smaller in size. Compacts? #3 looks like it has an Oldsmobile logo in the center. A1 - 62 Imperial A2 - Johan Turbine car A3 - 61,62 Olds wagon A4 - 62 Valiant Group B #1 looks like late 60s Ford Magnum 500s. 68-69 Fairlane? #4 is larger than standard 1/25th. Possibly Mid 70s F350 Camper Special? B1 - ? B2 - 60 Olds B3 - 65 Corvair Custom? B4 - F350 Camper Special More to come after these are identified. Thanks!

Oldcarfan27 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 (edited) Group E E1 looks like Kelsey-Hayes Tbird wheels. 63 annual? E2 is a smaller size. E3 Revell, what kit? Amazingly, unmelted! E4 looks larger, like a Monogram. But has 8 lugs. Chevy van? E1 - Car Craft Dream Rod, MPC Magnum GT II. E2 - E3 -Revell Tony Nancy double kit. E4 - possibly Monogram '55 Ford panel? Group F F1 Johan Cadillac. Year? F4 dark wheel looks like larger 56 Chevy wheels on right. F1 - Jo-Han '61 or '62 Cadillac. F2 - AMT mid-60s Corvair. F3 - AMT '61 Ranchero (Styline issue) custom. F4 - also Revell '56 Chevy, but later issue (to fit those two-piece tires) Edited March 24, 2022 by Oldcarfan27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 E1: AMT (made by MPC) Car Craft Dream Rod, later reused in MPC Magnum GT II. E3: possibly Revell Tony Nancy double kit (roadster). F1: Jo-Han '61 or '62 Cadillac. F2: look like AMT mid-Sixties Corvair. F3: AMT '61 Ranchero (Styline issue) custom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 E4 might be from the Monogram '55 Ford panel. F4 is also Revell '56 Chevy, but later issue (to fit those two-piece tires that were probably made from recycled trash bags). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldcarfan27 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) Big thanks goes out to Mark for identifying so many of these wheels! Here's more, to keep you on your toes. G1 may be another copy of F2 Corvair, but I'm not sure. G4 looks like another Johan Cadillac, possibly 59-60 Fleetwood? G1 - mid 60s Corvair G2 - MPC Ford GT Mk IV G3 - Johan 60 Plymouth annual G4 - Johan 59 Cadillac H3 is very thin, unusual for a scale wheel or hubcap. H4 appears to have a Buick emblem in the center. H1 - Johan custom wheel H2 - DUPLICATE 61 Ranchero H3 - IMC Volkswagen H4 - AMT Buick wagon. Edited March 25, 2022 by Oldcarfan27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 G1 looks like another Corvair wheel cover. G2 is MPC Ford GT, Mark IV version I believe. G3 looks like Jo-Han '60 Plymouth. The wagon cap is thicker than the one in the hardtop annual. G4 is Jo-Han Cadillac again, not sure what year off the top of my head. H1 is Jo-Han again, custom wheel that came in a bunch of annual kits. If it has open hole areas, it is a relatively early version. H2 is Ranchero again. Styline only, the annual had different optional wheels. I think the 1969 reissue still had this wheel included. H3, don't quote me, might be from an early issue IMC Little Red Wagon. H4 is from one of the AMT Buick Special station wagons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
