Any idea of what colors they'll be available in? And do you know somebody who sells them at a reasonable price. Scott

Just noticed in the lower photo. That '56 Ford has factory installed air conditioning. Very rare option on a '56. Scott

Here's one Barris did do that fits the theme. The Barris Voxmobile. Scott

Looks good! Scott

Why do brides wear white at their weddings? Because guy like their dishwasher to match the rest of their kitchen appliances.

How'd that comment get in here? Ford never offered a Mustang II drop top. And I guess I must be a girl. I like drop tops and Mustang IIs. Yet I like girls and they seem to like me. Speaking of drop tops. I'd like to Farrah with her top dropped on that Mustang II above. Scott

Like Ray and Lee above, I like Mutt IIs a lot. But sorry, that one is ugly. Scott

Vinyl roof for what? Need more info. Scott

I like Dean Jefferies' Monkeemobile much better. That being said, I do like and admire the work you put into this model. Scott

Very nice. I too like the color. Scott

I think somebody posted this same video about a month or two ago? Scott

In January Round 2 is reissuing AMT's Piranha Spy Car/Man From U.N.C.L.E. kit. Another Corvair engined car. Scott

I see AMT is reissuing their old Man From U.N.C.L.E./Piranha Spy Car kit in January. Another car power by Chevy Corvair motor. So in the next few months AMT will be releasing at least three kits I can count with Corvair power plants. And two with Corvair body's. It seems to be a a good time to be Corvair fan, like I am. Scott

Very kool! You posted this about a month ago? I don't know how I missed it. Scott

Above just shows how much fun and interesting dashboards were on cars in the late 1950's, early 60's. Rocket fins and spaceship style dashboards. It may be considered tacky by some. But I still love it. Scott

Started to build my Double Dragster and parts pack T body last night. I still need to figure out what to do with the parts pack chassis. Any ideas out there? Any photos of kits built using AMT parts pack chassis? I really need to do something with that chassis. Scott

I'm surprised Mr. Mesner, you have not contacted me on my above offer. It's free. Just give me a "yes" or "no". Scott

I'm waiting for a Promo of the convertible version of this car. Has anybody heard anything in this direction yet? Scott

Tough to beat Duesenberg on anything Art. The greatest cars ever built in this country. After all "it's a Deuse." Scott

Greg and Don you sure hit on the best of Japanese cars (posts 66 and 67, not 65). And note, I said "cars". Japan has built a few great cars over the years. The only ones I would say you are missing are the Datsun 1600 and 2000 sports car from the 60's, and the 1st generation Celica. Maybe the 1st gen RX-7? But in general, their cars are nothing more than appliances. Great appliances that do their job well. But with little soul or personality. Which is okay, if that's what you want. Speaking the Japanese auto industry and tying this tread back to Crosley. There was a Datsun built in the early 1950's that almost looks like a direct rip off of the postwar Crosley styling wise. Some people have even assumed in the past that Nissan/Datsun bought the Crosley body dies. Still is not the case. In fact, I'd have to go back a do some research, but Crosley and Datsun may have gotten into a roe over it. The North Star Crosley Club meets this next Monday. I'll have to ask Fred Syrdal about that. If anybody knows, Fred does. Scott

The Double Dragster kit I ordered off of eBay on the 9th got here. That's fast service! Scott

That is very kool! Any other photos? Scott

Ole and Lena had been married for 60 years. One day Lena turned to Ole and said, "Do you know what would be romantic Ole? If we had breakfast together in nude like we use to when we young." Ole thinks it's a strange request, but agrees to do it the next morning. The next morning Lena gets up and puts together a wonderful breakfast of eggs, coffee, fresh squeezed orange juice, bacon, and oatmeal. She calls Ole down to breakfast. They're sitting across the table from each other in the buff, and Lena looks romantically at Ole, she leans over, puts her hand up to her chest and says, "Oh Ole, this is so romantic. It gives me such in warm feeling in my breast!" Ole looks at her, and says, "Well it should Lena. You got one hanging in the coffee, and the other hanging in your oatmeal!" Scott

Another one I love is the '66 and '67 Buick Riviera dashboard, below. I also like the '71 and '72 Riviera dash. '71 - '74 full-size Oldsmobiles had great dashboards too. Scott

There are many paths on the journey through life. I think I might have chosen the psychopath.
