Too bad Aurora cancelled this line before the 426 Hemi was finalized. But the two that came out where and are fantastic

Hey, look! A Cadillac engine with a Magneto! ?

Oddly enough, I have been buying more Hot Wheels, and the like, than Model Cars. Simply because I really like Hot Wheels and the kit makers are rarely making anything I want or they are re making what I already have. With the exception of the lone re-issue that has been gone for some time, the rest is regular stuff that is easy to get. And yes, having way too many models as it is does not help! I do still think that U.S. model makers should look at the Japanese model of making current vehicles that are mostly curbside style. The bodies are nice when the innards can be quite dull. But, most of us have had it ingrained in our heads that kits should be full kits and anything less is not acceptable. This mindset needs to change. I would rather have a well proportioned body in a curbside style kit than a half ass done one with full detail. But, that is just me.

Just the primer! lol!

I know this was just a promo deal for the movie "Used Cars" but I would like to have one for the oddity that it is!

Yes, The Gangbusters series by MPC

Well, there is really no comparison, this kit is so good, it is totally "Tamiya Like"!

Going the way of the Penny Slots!

We can eat in front of a Closed Hobby Shop, lots of parking!

So, was this supposed to be a Car Kit News or Review? Or just another doom and gloom prediction to throw on the pile of Doom and Gloom postings? Sorry for the cynical post, but after hearing this same story for years, I just don't care. If we go and the hobby goes with us, who cares! We are gone! Just enjoy the hobby and go build something!

Because it is the coolest of the set!

Found this pic, apparently from an Ertl Dealer Catalog. Looks like these never made it either.

This is Rad! Looks like a legit Monogram kit!

Can't wait to see this develop! Looking good

I heard it met its demise to make this beauty! I can bring my glue bomb in at the next meeting, whenever that might be, and we can compare them to see if it is true. This pic is off the web, mine is a total glue bomb

San Diego Model Car Club meeting next week has been cancelled. IPMS Model Expo in May has been postponed. This will come to pass, but until then, take care and stay healthy

Bumping back to the top since some have started other threads on this subject.

Flat Out is Far Out! Crazy Cool build!!

This thing is Crazy Cool! Very nice job!!

Very cool! Makes me miss my 71 Malibu! ?

Their race cars where something else as well

The Revell Attempt 1 front wheels are more correct for this car. This is not my build, it is from the web, and its really nice!

It's a disassembled die cast
