Out-of-the-box 1960 Chrysler

Here's a monument to those kits that sit on the shelf and wait to get built. I bought this one in the 60's (1965?) and finally built it about a year ago. It was on a discount table at a local hobby shop. Low mileage, one owner 1960 Chrysler. It's been mildly customized with parts that came in the kit. Paint is Duplicolor Orange Mist and Duplicolor clear with a Krylon Dover White roof.

The build is really nice, but that picture of the box brought back so many memories I can't begin to explain. As a kid, I would rush to the hobby shop to pour through those 3 in 1 AMT boxes. Every penny of my meager allowance went into the purchase of the kits. I wish my mom hadn't trashed them. Well, I have the memories, and every now and again I see the old kits and I'm taken back to a simpler time and a happier place. Thanks for posting it and of course the car.
