Againmikewins Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 It looks like it could be a late 60's Dodge, but the windows don't match anything I've googled. Anyone have an idea if this is just an artist rendering or based on a real vehicle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitchdup Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I think it might be chevy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Againmikewins Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 You're right! I didn't even think about the possibility of it being a Chevy! All of the big three vans from that era looked to similar. But, I see the window shape being the same. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZIL 111V Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 1st or 2nd gen Chevy van (64-70): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Againmikewins Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 1st or 2nd gen Chevy van (64-70): Thank you! I wonder if there's a styrene or resin body available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Looks like a '64-66 (early first gen) Chevy or GMC G-van. No kit nor resin body exists, 'cept for the Mini Lindy kit which is 1/37-ish scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Againmikewins Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Well, looks like I'll have to use the Jimmy Flintstone Dodge A100! Thanks for the answers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disabled modeler Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Id like to see these years Ford/Chevy vans made as plastic kits myself...would not take much thought that they would sell well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edsel-Dan Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Actually that Mini-Lindy is more likely 1/64 ish scale Remember those were designed to Matchbox size back then For those who wanted a Matchbox Kit And YES, I have a few of that Mini-Lindy Van!! I also have this one A one piece "Blow-Molded" Bank Promo It looks a little smaller than 1/25, but I am glad to have found it!!!! more pics here: http://s145.photobucket.com/user/EdselDan/library/Models/Projects/67 Chevy Van Bank Promo?sort=3&page=1 I do not know if it would be good enough to use for resin casting due to the make up of the piece Also the rear doors were cut open at some point Likely to remove any $$$ put in it back when Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first husband had one and I used to sit on the engine to be next to him while he was driving down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul alflen Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Againmikewins, Jimmy does make this one .I think its not in his catalog yet? It is a little more $$$ than his regular castings. He will be at the Macomb DAAM show on March 29th, 2020 if you need one!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
