You got it.

The cars that were around when I was a little kid, on TV or on the streets, we're so cool. Being born in '58 during the height of chrome, pastel colors, spaceship looking dashboards, and fins. Every car looked different and exciting to me. Then through the 60's. More new ideas. New sizes of cars. New concepts. More to keep me interested and excited. The 70's were the start of the end for me. I was still excited by the new cars of that era. But the government, insurance companies, and OPEC started forcing changes onto cars I didn't like. Then CAFE standards, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers came along. Quality did improved, forced to keep up with the Japanese. Even though all of these things have resulted in the best quality, longest lasting, best operating vehicles in history, my passion for the new has faded. There is still some interest in the newest and latest. And I love a lot of the gadgets they put in cars nowadays. But, it's not the same. One of the reasons I like watching old TV shows and movies today, is to see the old cars. I've never been a big fan of CHiPs. But I now watch it on MeTV mainly to see the cars. I love the stupid Frankie and Annette beach movies partially for the same reasons. To me, the Golden Age of automobiles will always be from about 1955 to 1970. Though, I could go back to 1930. And forward to 1980. It may not make any sense. But that's the way it is for me. Scott

Very nice. Scott

Zingers are so stupid. But, I like them. Nice job, Guy. Scott

Wow! I love it. The color is really right for that car. Scott

Very nice! Scott

Very kool. The "red" Kelsy-Hayes are the way to go as far as I'm concered. Got to love that "old scool look." Scott

Making what? Scott

I missed that. Good humor. I like it. Scott

Looks good to me. Fast build, if this is from the latest reissue. Scott

Not bad. Scott

I like it. Scott

Very nice. But, it needs hub caps or wheel covers. Other than that, it looks great. Scott

I too would like to see Round 2 reissue this one. The only problem I could see with the kit, is could only be built as a James Bond type convertible. I think the MPC kit had no official ties the James Bond franchise. But, Toyota only built two 2000GT convertibles. Both for the movie "You Only Live Twice." Still I want the kit. Scott

Yes, I think it was called Mr. Kelly's Car Wash made by Remco Toys. It was really cool and fairly popular. It had a motorize chain that pulled special plastic cars through it. Squirted water on the cars. Had foam rollers the cars moved under. Even came with a couple of small can of wax to polish the cars. Always wanted one. Never got it. I do have a DVD with a bunch of commercials for 60's kids toys. Including the RemcoRemco car wash. I wonder if it can be found on YouTube? Scott

Maybe you don't. But, I do. Not! But, cruel sounding jokes can be fun. I wonder why? Anyhow, here are a few more. What do you call a cow with no legs? - Ground beef. What do you call a dog with no legs? - Nothing. He won't come anyways. What do you call a guy with no arms or legs laying in front of your door? - Matt What do you call a guy with no arms or legs floating in the water? - Bob What do you call a guy with no arms or legs sitting in your hot tub? - Stew Okay. One more bad one, and I promise I'll quit. For now. A little boy is doing an experiment on a frog. First he sets the frog on the ground and tells the frog to jump. "Jump frog, jump!" The frog jumps, and the little boy records in his notebook, "Frog with four legs can jump 9 inches." Now he cuts off one leg. And again tells the poor frog to jump. "Jump frog, jump!" The frog jumps. This time he record in his notebook, "Frog with three legs can jump 5 inches." Then he cut off a second leg. And again tells the poor frog to jump. "Jump frog, jump!" The frog jumps. For this one he writes down, "Frog with two legs jumped 1 1/2 inches." Now he cuts off another leg. The poor frog has only one leg! He orders the frog the jump. "Jump frog, jump!" The poor frog does his best. The boy writes in his notebook, "Frog with one leg can only jump a 1/4 inch." Finally he cuts off the poor frogs last leg. Again he orders the poor frog to jump. "Jump frog, Jump!" The poor frog just lays there. Again, "Jump frog, jump!" The frog doesn't move. Several times he orders the frog to jump to no avail. So, he ends up writing in his notebook, "Frog with no legs goes deaf." Sorry about that. Again as with Dave above, I do not endorse hurting either animals or people. But, again for some reasons I find some of jokes about it funny. Scott

Looks great! I can't wait to get one. Thanks Sean. Scott

The Renwal Revival Packard. Scott

Wow! Great. Scott

That is one kool looking Ford. I like it. And yea, it's looks like the Finns in Finland are no different from ones over here. By the way, I've always heard that Northern Minnesota looks a lot like Finland. And that's part of the reason many Finns settled there years ago. Looking the two videos, if I didn't know better I'd swear they were shot in Northern Minnesota. It could be my cousins doing this, here. Scott

I already like the decals. Especially the one that says, "I (heart) love Uranus!" Perfect for aliens probing the universe. Scott

Okay. As soon as I made the above comment. They moved this from were I first found it. Here it makes more sense. Scott

How is this a truck kit review? Scott

I saw no pictures then I used this link. Scott

????? Didn't run very well? Edsel ran no better or worst when any other Ford product of the time. Scott
