“Palmer’s PSM brand”? I know Palmer. But, I know nothing about “Palmer’s PSM brand”. Tell us more.

It looks great. I like it.

Thank you. I too love Comets.

Hey! I thought we all agree. No real cars. Only models. A heck of a deal tipping that old ‘32 upside down and not damaging it! All kidding aside, a very nice ‘32. I like the other two models too.

Looks great. Very nice job.

I’m wondering what happened to Eldon’s custom model car kits from the late 60’s, or early 70’s. I know that a Japanese model company reissued some of them somewhere a long the line. I only know of the six seen below. Of which I had three. The Pink Panther, the Milk Truck, and the Bathtub. Where there more? I’d love to see the three I had reissued. I remember them as being fairly fun kits to build. I’d like to know more about the history of these kits. They must not have sold all that well since Eldon never issued more kits than that, that I know of? In fact I don’t remember seeing any Eldon’s slot cars, or anything else from them shortly after these kit came out.

How about taking their old ‘50 convertible, clone the die, update that to a ‘51 with a Victoria roof? That way you could still offer the old ‘50 convertible in the future, and a new ‘51 Vicky. That make a cool set of shoebox Fords. The ‘49 club coupe. The ‘50 convertible. And a ‘51 Victoria.

Nice Torino.

Nice Willys. And Steak ‘N Shake, one of my favorite restaurants as a sponsor.

Thank you Carl.

Lovely. I especially like the colors.

Beautiful.

Kool! I like it.

Yea I do remember it. This all reminds me, that I need to finish my Lindberg version one of these days.

The above is not a Revell kit. Originally IMC, later Lindberg.

Even with the criticism others are giving this kit, I have one on order, and am looking forward to getting it. True, I could go to Indy Decals to make a more accurate version of this car. But, I like what comes in the box. And in general with what is included, it will look close enough to the real thing for me in the end. Plus, I look at this as partially a nostalgia thing. In the sixty’s when this kit originally came out was pretty cool, and built into a fairly good looking rendition of the Gurney’s real car. In the 2020’s, it could be done with more accuracy. But, that’s not necessarily what I’m looking, or expecting from this kit.

I’m glad you guys like these kits. Thank you.

Thank you for your kind comments gentlemen.

Just finding this now. Great job Snake.

I’ve just started building mine. From what I’m seeing, I think AMT’s Meyers’ Manx is a better kit. But I still I’m looking forward to building mine. And I hope it turns half as good as yours.

I love ‘em. The I see, the more I want one. Again, it so bad it’s kool.

Thank you.

Obviously there was a problem with my last posting. I got a message it wasn’t posting. So I kept trying without knowing what was going on. Hopefully one the editors of this site will fix that.

The more I see of this car, the more I like it. It’s just totally wrong in so many ways. But, that’s what makes it right. The outhouse door for the front bumper. The strange decals. The wheelbase that does not fit. The missing stock chrome. Who would want one? Me for some odd reason? I real doubt this our mystery car. “The Rumor Mill” kit. But, I wish it was. In my opinion it’s better than many of the other choices I’ve seen listed here.

Yes it is! ? That I don’t mind. In fact it hits my warped sense of humor perfectly. ?
