Snake45 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 A lot of the '63 boxes were sort of "generic." I think I have both Corvettes and IIRC they're only pictured on the ends, and that might be a stick-on label. I'll try to take another look at them tonight.

Edsel-Dan Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Yes AMT had the Generic "Pick-Up" kit box You had to look at te end to see which itwasSame for some of the annualsEspecially in the "Advanced Customizing Series"Impala & Galaxie used the same box artRemember, AMT did not print up Individual boxes forthe first few years of kit production! Another Error from Jo-Hantheir 69 Road Runner Annual included Decals for Richard PettyHe jumped to Ford that year as Chrysler would not let him change overto Charger for use of their Daytona, And Plymouth Did Not have plans for a twin Petty went back to Plymouth for 70 as they added their Winged Warrior the Superbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 The one thing I've always wondered is what is it with the redesigned AMT boxes in the early 2000s? To me at least, they made the kits look really bad compared to earlier boxart. An example: Dodge Ram snap kit Old box: Newer box: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Don't remember Plymouth making a Duster with a Dodge grille. It's hard to see on the box top, but it does say Dodge. MPC has been having this "Dodge Duster" problem since the '80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitchdup Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Every Revell 90's impala ss I've had, has the rear bumper and wing top trim for a 57 chevy on the chrome tree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarheelRick Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Every Revell 90's impala ss I've had, has the rear bumper and wing top trim for a 57 chevy on the chrome treeThat is probably because the Impala uses many of the same pieces (chassis, engine, etc.) as the Alternomad kit, which is a late model custom Impala with '57 Chevy rear quarter-panels.
