Greg Myers Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I've heard there may be a coupe coming from Galaxie ltd . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 That would be fantastic. Galaxie puts out great products. They are not as prolific as other companies, but those kits have nothing envy Tamiya et al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 A coupe version of the '48 Chev? Or something a bit more out of the blue...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 A coupe version of the '48 Chev? Or something a bit more out of the blue...? Well, I guess they are known for their '46-48 Chevys . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry57 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Wow, I hope its the 48 Chevy I have a real 48 Chevy business coupe and would love to build a model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim boyd Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 When Gary originally did the '48, he had it engineered in such a way that it could be used as the basis for a '41 at a later point in time, from what I recall. So....if that coupe is on the horizon, wouldn't it be killer if it was a '41 instead of a '48? (The '41 Chevy was probably the single most beautiful pre- WWII Chevy of all time, at least in my humble opinion.....TIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Anderson Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I've known about the forthcoming coupe from Galaxie Ltd for months now. Yes, it is coming. Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemodeler Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Art, Can you tell us what model year the coupe will be? I would love a '41 Chebby Coupe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Smith Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Honestly? I could care less what year. As long as the kit is as nice as the '48, I am in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whale392 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I would say Art is just guessing, much like the rest of 'us' here. We have all heard the rumblings, and are wondering what they are up to. Well, Art, care to clue the class in? In Drag Racing, this is what's known as 'Put up or shut up'.

Greg Myers Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) I know Arts 'Credentials', that is why I made the comment, thank you. Now, as stated.............................................. Other boards are full of this stuff. If we can't share information here what's the use in posting . especially the "Na, na, na, I know a secret" kind of stuff? Now for the " I can't tell you because the manufactures have sworn me to secrecy excuse." it gets old. "(Check Arts credentials... they speak for themselves.)" then let Art speak.

crazyjim Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) If that blue coupe is a '41 Chevy, then I'd like to get the kit. I don't know Art's credentials. Where would I look? Edited December 8, 2011 by crazyjim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the designer of the Galaxie '48 Chevy kits pretty well (and he was the designer of the legendary Aurora Racing Scenes in the 1970's, and then headed up product development at MPC from 1977 until MPC was sold to Ertl in 1986, then opening his own design firm mostly devoted to high-end diecast models, including NHRA Top Fuel dragsters and dragracing motorcycles. He's been supplying me with tidbits of info on the Galaxie Chevy coupe for better than a year now--and the guy is most credible. Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAone Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 well ill be waiting for this as well. i bought the sedan delivery when i first came out. i still have it, never finished it though. i will some day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) Interesting that it's taken them so long to follow up to the two 48 Chevy kits..those came out, what, 15 years ago? Edited December 8, 2011 by Rob Hall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodiak Island Modeler Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I'm hoping that this is going to happen. I loved the 46-48 Chevy coupes and owned a 48. Those three years were the best looking of that body style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Never had a Galaxie kit. They any good? No. More like 'great'. My only misgiving about the Aerosedan and Sedan Delivery is they aren't Fords. (Right, Mike? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
