Anyone remember the P M C company


Recommended Posts

OK I can add a little

The 59 Ford Wagon was the mid-level 4dr Country Sedan

I have Both Styrene Toy, and Deluxe Dealer Acetate Promo!!

Both have the same flat tin plate chassis with flywheel/friction motor!!

The toy is Body only with silver/gray bumpers

The Promo has interior, Windows and Hubcaps in the tires

Deluxe Promo:

Toy being Rebuilt with Revel Skyliner parts

Note the Minor Twist to the interior, and overall Shrinking oif the 2-tone Promo vs the Turq Styrene Toy body

 

The Revell Grill fits almost perfectly

And Yes do remove the front bumper extensions, Strip the chrome and glue to the front fender

Surprisingly, The mold parting line Should be LEFT there as those were still Separate parts even when chromed!!!!!!!

BUT, Revell NEVER had clear red lenses for their Fairlane 500 Skyliner

I have TWO built Originals,and the lens is cast with the Bezel and Chrome

I did Drill/inset the tail light area to accept the Rev piece

See here the work done to adapt the PMC body to accept the Rev chassis And the tail lights;

AMT DID have the clear-red lenses in their Galaxie kits

I also have the Ranchero Toy issue

Bob Swartz in Savannah, Mo did offer resin copies of both of MY PMC 59 Fords at one time

But I have not heard of him in many years

 

Were Bagged kits done only in Acetate? or also styrene??

 

I now wonder if the 'Admiral Blue' Chevy promo I have is PMC

one of those above has the paint name on the roof like mine

I have A Fleetline fastback

And folder with more pictures;

This is a match for sure from the same makers of my mold set.  While the trunk is different, the hood/trunk ornaments are identical, as is the offset horizontal line on the rear fender.  The only place I've ever seen that offset horizontal line on the fender is from molds like mine.

Is there any chance PMC produced the 1/25 scale Texaco station for Buddy L as a subcontractor, or did they just supply the vehicles that came with it (IIRC '59 Ranchero or '60 Chevy sedan)?

Boy, if the molds for that ever turned up...!

In case somebody runs into this one on eBay:  many years ago, I had a resin '59 Country Sedan that was mastered from the PMC promo.  This was in the early 90s, and the seller went by the name "California Cars" or something similar.  Somebody in here probably remembers him.  The light-brown resin body was pretty nice and included an unchromed grille and bumpers.  It fit the Revell 59 Skyliner fairly well.  But at some point, I got tired of fiddling with it and traded it off, along with the Revell donor kit.

Not sure on the "California Models" But around that time Bob Swartz from

Savannah, Mo did offer the 59 Country Sedan & Ranchero in Resin

Tan Brown in color

I still have 1 or 2 left of those he sent me for the use of my bodies

You can tell they are mine by the drilled out tail-light locations to ude the Revell parts

And the extended lower rear body to sit on the Rev Chassis

Also the Ranchero had the slots opened for the Fender Ornaments

Bob Called his Company "Model Cars & Parts"

 

This 59 EDSEL Villager Body is from one of Bob's Wagon castings.

The EDSEL front clip was also one of his

 

I wish I knew what happened to him

It would be nice to get those PMC bodies of mine back out there in Resin

This Villager was to go to him for casting too!!!!
