One I suspect is lost is the '32 Ford sedan that first came with AMT's '40 Willys. That's the one I'd love to see come back, if it can.

Getting at the gas cap in your Corvette with the luggage rack, was not a problem unless you had luggage on the rack. The bars of the rack were spaced wide enough to get easy access to your gas cap. But, stop for gas and you had to take off your luggage to fill up your Vette.

Thank you. Looking at the car in the link, the kit does look like it's a Murphy.

I still would like more clarity on the above questions. Are these Monogram Classic Cars, the Duesenberg SJ roadster, and the two Mercedes 540Ks, based on real cars or not? And if so, does anybody know of any pictures of the real cars these were based on?

Beautiful model!

I too would love one. The '71 Road Runner has always been cool. Come on Round 2, bring it back.

Very nice job Harry. I'm impressed with what I'm seeing.

I think you did pretty good building this kit. The fit of the doors, hood, and trunk lid look bad. I'm guessing after seeing the amount of work you put into this kit, that that is a design flaw in the kit. I'm curious. What is the history of this kit? And when was it first tooled up?

Wow! Very nicely done. Haven't seen one of those in years.

Two other kits I'd like to see from the "lame performance era." The '79 Chrysler Córdoba with the 300 package. And her sister the Dodge Magmun. No one ever tooled either as a kit that I know of. So I'm not holding my breather for seeing either one of them.

I agree 100% Harry.

I'm curious about the Suburban. I just hope it can be built factory "stock." It's a shame it will not be a '67 - '72 three-door Suburban. Those are my favorites. But, I love Chevy Suburbans, and any Suburban is welcome in my collection.

I'm sorry. But I think that is ugly.

It looks pretty good from looking at the instructions. I'm looking forward to this one.

I just got my Mod Squad kit tonight. Sorry to say, the tires in kit are plain. No tampo lettering or stripes. I'm a little disappointed with this one. Being molded in black plastic and plain tires. It can be built "stock." Other than the Pontiac engine and interior. Those parts I don't mind. In general, other than the black plastic and plain tires, the kit looks pretty good overall.

What do you use as a chassis with above kits?

Call me sick. But, I kind of like the looks of the thing. Strange and unique. A different take on the Batmobile.

As noted before, a beautiful Merc. Had to take another look. And again, I whis Revell/Mongram see fit to reissue the kit. I think it was only offer the one time in about 1976 or '77.

One of my "holy grail" kits. I would if Revell still has the dies for it? For some reason I kind doubt it. It was not a big seller when it first came out. Very cool find! I'm jealous. ?

If it looks anything like the first picture, good. If the Everest or something like that, let the name rest in peace. As far as Rangers go, I've always disliked them. But, I respect them. Working at the auto parts store you see more them come in, held together by bailing wire and crewing gum. They maybe slow, uncomfort, ugly little turds. And I will not drive our Ranger parts delivering truck unless I absolutely have to. I take one of the two Nissans first. And I'm not a far Nissan either. But, those little Rangers do keep on going. And that says a lot.

Long list. What movie are you looking forward to seeing?

Great explanation of how things like eBay works, and why many of us use it. And I do think there are a lot Grampa Simsons out there. Complaining becomes hobby and love to them.

Talking about "lame cars," another one I'd like to see Round 2 bring back is MPC's ('76 or '77) Mustang II Cobra II. I know the car was considered heresy by true Cobra fans. But, I've always thought it was cool from the very first time I saw it.

No but the Miss Budweiser boat was brought up here. And a picture with the boat and an old AMT Allison engine beside it. I think that makes it fair game.

By the way. How did you get the Coronado? Every website I've check out this weekend says it's not available yet. Including the Round 2 own Auto World site.
