I agree with Tom. Keep it a 4-door.

I have a '67 Thunderbird promo with these top of fender turn signal pods (they look like little chrome blades sticking out of thr front fender edges), similar to what was seen on the '66 Tunderbird. I've also seen pictures of early, real, I assume prototype, '67 Thunderbirds with these pods. But I've never seen one in real life or photos of '67 that hit the street with these pods. Some, if not all, of the AMT '67 promos have these blades/pods. The '67 - '69 AMT kits all came with the pods on the chrome tree. But, no holes in the front fenders for them. And no mention of what they were for in the instruction sheets. Ive seen early photos of real '61 Continentals without "B" pillars. I wonder if Ford originally planned on releasing this car in both a sedan and hardtop version? The hardtop being scraped in the 11th hour, after AMT had committed to that body style for their models of the car?

Cool '61. Did the AMT kit not come with the correct center "B" pillar? Or is that something that somebody modified on this particular kit? I can see AMT making the promo and/or the kit of the '61 without this pillar. They would have gotten to see the '61 Lincoln late in its development stages. And in some of the early promotional/press photos of the car, they did show it as a true 4-door hardtop, without the "B" pillar. AMT might have been under the impression that the real cars were going to be offered a hardtop. Instead of, or along side of a sedan model too. And did their model this way for that reason.

Is Round 2 maybe missing something here, and needs to add kielbasa to their line up for 2016? Besides the models, slot cars and other hobby related things?

It's been more than year, hasn't it? I thought it came out at least two, maybe three years ago now?

I was until I looked at the Jeep one more and more. The information on the non-military/CJ/Wranger types of Jeeps is just plain terrible. I'm not finding any wrong info on the Ford one. As good as the Ford one is, I don't understand how the Jeep one can be so bad. I'm now afraid to see what they have done with other makes of trucks, if they've done them?

The more I look at the Jeep one above, the less impressed I am. The Wagon, Wagoneer, Commando, Cherokee, and Grand Cherokee have a lot of front ends are either missing or given the wrong information about. This one leaves a lot to be desired after looking at it closely.

Very cool! I love it. Any more, and where you finding these?

Okay, for you guys that like kielbasa, was explanation of what it is correct?

Got the same one a week or two ago. Also picked up their '67 Chevy Impala 4-door hardtop with a Bambi Airstream. A '67 Ford Bronco with a general enclosed cargo trailer. And a present generation Dodge crew cab pickup, with an enclosed car hauler, decorated with the Dodge Rumble Bee and Hellcat logos.

I'm not 100% sure myself. I beleive its a Polish type of sausage, still popular in Chicago and Milaukee. And it has nothing to do with anything that Round 2 plans on releasing under the AMT or MPC brands in 2016.

Still wishing for this one to reappear. I keep looking at the ones on eBay. Just get the feeling that as soon I buy one, Round 2 will announce they're reissuing it. Please Round 2. Bring this back!

Kielbasa killed this thread?

And as a kid (teen) my friends and I never noticed the missing turn signals. It still looked like a correct '71 - '72 Blazer to me. I guess I was never that picky. As long as it basically looked right. And not like a Palmer kit.

Received mine in the mail today. Have not taken a really close look at it yet. Just opened it up to move the tires out the bag with the body and chassis in it, like Chris mentions in his above video. I can not beleive they though throwing the tires in with the kit like was good idea. But, it was easy enough to take care of.

Pre-ordered one off of eBay this morning. Looking forward to it!

Somewhat interesting.

Three good ones! ?

I'm confused? Is that picture compressed, or what?

What joke did you consider vulgar? So we know what to watch out for?

I got to quit doubting myself on certain things. Though it's not mentioned in any of early sales literature, after doing more reasearch, 1965 was the first year Pontiac offered factory Ram Air on their GTO.

Doing some research, mainly on line. The hood scoop blocking plate was made for all three years of the two-seaters. And there is a replacement sticker you can buy for that blocking plate that tells you to "remove cover for summer operation." So is this this standard or accessory? I'm still looking for answer to that. Interesting Special Interest Autos (#11, June-July 1972) did an article compering a '56 Thunderbird to a '60 Thunderbird. In that article, they point out that '60 T-Bird's hood scoop was open. But no mention of the same feature on the '56.

Greg you maybe correct. I pulled Ray Miller's book, Thunderbird an illustrated history of the Ford T-Bird. Page 57 shows a '55 Thunderbird with nothing blocking the scoop. And Miller refers to it as "fuctional style." Then page 193, in section on "Accessories" he shows what he refers to a "blanking plate." He says Ford called it a "Cover, Hood Top Opening" in their parts books. He also said, "it's need debated." At the same time, I'm going to have search my other sources. For I'm still fairly sure that I've read that this "blanking plate" was standard. But, at this time Miller's book makes question how correct I am on this. I maybe wrong. And you maybe right.

His brother passed through him. Don't feel bad about not getting it. It's not a knee slapping joke either.

Let's see if anybody gets this one. It took me a few seconds before I final got it. Did you hear about the cannibal who passed his brother in the jungle?
