MAGNUM4342 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Looks to me like you have a duke's mixture of Micro Machines and kit trophy tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edsel-Dan Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I have a few of those. Including the 57 Chevy & Ford that AMT had in those 2 kits as Trophy tops I have a few of the 32 Ford coupe too. Not sure I have seen the Pickup version. Remember the "Customizing" Series?? It included a Modern Vette in the Chrome Trophy & Stancion tree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custom Hearse Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I made an "N" scale R/C car for a friends railroad layout at his hobby shop in Joplin. I used sprue from a model car kit and wrapping wire for the tires... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymcminn Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Don't forget about the Revell "Amigo Pack" issues from about ten years ago that included a 1:64 diecast in the same color scheme as the 1:25. I still have the little T-bucket diecast on my computer desk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbwelda Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 yeah those cars are meant to go on trophies from AMT kits i believe. really kool. ive seen one of the pickup trucks, 34 ford i believe, with a chopped top and a chrome flame job. i collect them anytime i see any, usually in "junk" spare parts boxes brought to club meetings for everyone to comb through.
