And, that's it?!? No other information on tentative rerelease? Nothing else except a picture of a box? Posts like this are a waste of people's time.

It's just a reissue...probably 1st quarter 2021...nothing to get upset about...

I know that this would be a reissue. What annoys the hell out of me is when somebody post a cryptic picture like this with no further information with which to place it in proper context. After all, this is the "Car Kits & Reviews" section, not the cool box art forum.

If there was a date I would have put it in the thread sorry for posting it I will not post any  more because of you here on this form .

It's clear to most this is a near-straight reissue of the California Wheels version, for which there are reviews here:

New decals, box art, Bob's your uncle.

Near straight, except this one can also be built stock. I hope Hobby Lobby gets some in. I could use a couple.

I owned this one back in the day! Actually owned it twice but that’s a long story. And I only have one picture. You can see the back corner of my 65 Barracuda and tail end of my 66 Valiant in the driveway.

I do have to build a copy of this car one of these days!

need to finish mine, think the paint should've gassed out after 15 years....

I dunno, old-school scallops and big "hot wheels" don't seem to go together...kinda like wearing neon-yellow sneakers with a double-breasted suit.....:unsure:

Hopefully , that guy at George's Garage is awaiting the recycling man to come along and buy those wheels . In the meantime , he's installing a trad paint scheme .

Don't think that I've not seen exactly the outfit you've described --- I grew up in a Los Angeles suburb ! Haha !

"I'm not fond of the '56 car's looks. Chevy never should have "Improved" the '55, IMHO."

I like the '55 better overall than the '56, but think the radiused quarter panel wheelhouse opening on the '56 & '57 looks way better than the ones on the '55, though it was done right on the Nomad.  My folks had a '57 Bel Air hardtop, so that's my favorite Tri-Five since I remember it well.

Ya the '56 was the ugly middle sister of the tri 5s to many people. I still think it's the best of the three models. Don't get me wrong, I like the '55 and the '57 just fine but for me the '56 is the best of them all. I have never built a low ridder '56 and only a few others. The big hoops will not be used but some nice chrome reverse wheel with pin wall whites . There will be some metal flake and pearl as well.

I agree, the 56 is the best looking one of the bunch!
