Nice. A Nova Rally rather than an SS. That's cool. Scott

Mr. Guthmiller, thought this was going to a hardtop? Known as a Hollywood hardtop in Hudson terminology. I was under the impression this going to be a long roof 2-door club sedan, rather than a short roof 2-door club coupe. Though I do like the club coupe better than the club sedan. I knew it was not going to a Hollywood, but I wish it was. In '54 the Hollywood looked better with the minor redesign bodies, than the club coupe. In '53 it was the other way around. Scott

Beautiful! Scott

Tom, the Premier Corvair you showed above wasn't done by memory. It was done on drugs. It looks like it was designed while on a bad LSD trip. The Cadillac below it may have been done in the same way. Scott

Great looking truck. Scott

Yes! I agree. Scott

This comment about 13" Rallyes has been nagging at the back of my mind for a day or two now. '67 Camaros came with 14" wheels. No 13s. Rallyes in '67 only came only with disc brakes. So this is the cool factory wheel setup. Scott

Now that is cool. My first real car was a '53 Chrysler. In my case it was a New Yorker Deluxe 2-door Club Coupe. Still this is first plastic "model" of '53 Chrysler I've ever seen. Any chance of seeing more photos of the model? It would be especially interesting to see under the hood and inside the trunk. Scott

And again, the Boss 429 not only has the cam in the block, but also has basically Hemi heads. Scott

Curtis, where is the Porsche 911 kit above from. Who makes it? And what scale? There are very few Porsche 911 model kit with the pre 1974 small bumper set up. Scott

That is not a 1960 Ford Courier. The 1960 Courier was based on the fullsize Ford Ranch Wagon. In fact the '59 and '60 Courier had glass rather than solid side panels. They were basically a 2-door Ranch Wagons with a single seat for the driver only. For '61 they switch the sedan delivery down to the Falcon line. They also went back to solid side panels. The Courier name did not go with the switch. That being said, I do like your model. It's very nice. The Ranchero looks great too (which did switch to the Falcon line for '60). Your "Courier" is actually a phantom '60 Falcon sedan delivery. Which is cool with me. Scott

Here we go with the complaints. It's maybe not 100% correct. But, it looks darn good to me. True the grille doesn't look correct when the details are pointed out. But, before you guys said anything, I didn't notice it. So, it is basically right. Scott

Very nice. Both of them. I'm not too keen on the wheels. But, that's me. Scott

Very cool! Interesting concept. I love the detailed work you did on this. Scott

I like it! I want one! Very cool. Scott P.S. I hope someone makes a 1/25th scale model kit of it, for those of us who can not afford the real thing.

No.

Very nice. I wonder when Revell will get around to reissuing this one? Scott

Cool. SS-396! I can't wait to get my hands on this one. Scott

I love it Felix. A six and dog dishes. I like Super Sports, but most people I knew drove cars like this. And that's okay. It brings back fond memories. I once owned a plain light yellow '74 Buick Apollo with a six (Chevy 250) and dog dishes. Scott

Another great story involving two of my favorite automotive things. One is Jay Leno. One of the all time great car guys. And a great guy all around. Second is a Buick. Next to Cord, my favorite brand of automobile. And the '57 Cabellero was and is one of the all time cool wagons. And it's great to see people donating their time (in the case of President Bush and Jay Leno) and money (the bidders) to a worthy cause. A nice story at a time when we need more nice stories like this. Scott

Very nice. I'm impressed. Scott

Your right about the Tow'd. The box art indicates a Corvair engine. Scott

Putting down others and their likes does not make me feel better. Scott

By the way, I saw your other build of the Whirlybirds from an even earlier posting. Not to put the other build down, but this one looks a lot better. I hope some day when you attend another MCCM meeting, you'll bring along this model so I can see it in real life. Scott

By the way, I like the Play-dough idea. I may copy that one. Scott
