Where did you see new Buick LeSabres last year? Buick stopped offering LeSabres in the US after 2005. Scott

Wow! I love Mercury Cyclones. I had the pleasure of getting and building the exect same kit serval year back. I even painted mine red too. But, I went with a matching red interior. And even though mine turned out fairly nice, if looks no where as nice as yours Sven. Scott

Charlie, I'm impressed that you know about the Western version of the '60 Invicta. I had the pleasure of judging one at a Buick National meet a few years back. That's the only one I've ever seen in real life. And your right, that would make a cool model kit. Scott

I'm wondering about the same thing? I thought the only 350 offered in '67 was the engine that came standard in the SS-350? Scott

Wow that Ford morphed into a cat! That's amazing! Scott

Didn't know Testors offered this as kit. How does it compare to the Revell or AMT '32s? Scott

Ah yes, fourth place was built by young Mr. Boyd. I should not be surprised. Another nice one Tim. Scott

What is it?

Thanks, Tom. LLWS did not mean anything to me. Not knowing what Mike was referring to made post #1 sound a little creepy. Scott

Beautiful job Steven. This is a kit AMT needs to reissue if they have dies for it. And from what I know of history of the kit, they should. Scott

What did the fourth place car, talked about above, look like? Scott

This might be a good time to reissue the Mork & Mindy Jeep in its original packaging as a tribute to Mr. Williams. Or is that too morbid? Morbid or not, I'd buy one in his memory. Scott

Fuselage body Chryslers (1969 through 1973) were beautiful cars. And any Town and Country wagon from that era would be welcome. They were very classy wagons. Even nicer in my opinion, than my beloved Buick's Estate Wagons. Speaking of Estate Wagons, I'd love to see any full size GM wagon from 1971 or 1972. Maybe '73. I still love the clamshell tailgate on those cars. Back to Fuselage Chryslers. Beyond Town and Country, I'd love to see a '69 or '70 Chrysler 300. Coupe or convertible. A '70 or '71 Sport Fury GT would be cool too. Or a '69 Dodge Polara 500 or '70 and '71 Dodge Monaco. Scott

She's finally is back with Bogie (Bogart's way of spelling, by the way). Scott

I like it. Scott

Oh, by the way Tom. I'm still hoping to see through clothing with them. Just now I want to see through women's clothing rather than girls. Then again, it has always been women's clothes I was more interested in see through. Even as a kid I knew they'd be more interesting than just plain old girls. Scott

Having troubles with posting things tonight. Ignore this, and read the next. That's what should be here. Scott

Just to let people know the kids thought the x-ray glasses were cool. Some adults who had never seen them before, thought so too. This may not have anything to do with the price of models. But, just as models were cool back in the 60's, so were x-ray specs. And they are still fun and cool today. And inflation has not hit them as hard as model kits, or other fun things from my childhood. Scott

OK, the last four above in particular are way over the top. I also suspect the top two and bottom one maybe photoshopped. Real or photoshopped, the people who thought those two vehicles up, should be embarrassed for even contemplating such things. The one second from the bottom is not my taste. But, embarrassing? Scott

Whoops, see post below. Scott

Only one dispute with you on the above Tom. And that's with the last paragraph. AMT was making one piece plastic promo bodies as early as 1949. Others had done the same before Revell's '57 Ford Country Squire hit the market. AMT then made a big splash with their new kits with one piece bodies in 1958. Yet Revell again offered a multi-piece Ford Retractable for '59. I'm willing to bet it more had to do with what Revell thought a hobby kit should be. The more parts the better. Your job was to build a model. AMT's one piece bodies just made it easier to build and better looking without the trouble multi piece bodied kits gave you. And for that reason they also sold better than Revell's multi piece body kits. Scott

EvilBay. That's were I get mine. Scott

Wow! Very nice. Neat to see a '69 Cougar that is not an Eliminator. Scott

Hey the x-ray glasses work. In fact I'll be demonstrating a set to a bunch of 4th, 5th, and 6th grade age kids tomorrow. Do they really give you x-ray vision? Of course not! But they are a fun optical illusion. And it's fun to see if the kids can figure out how they work? They are still around. You can buy them on eBay with shipping for about $4.00 a pair. The frames are made out of cheap cardboard, so they wear out fast. There is a more expensive pair out there with plastic rims. But, for what ever reason that set did not work! And I don't remember why? It's almost more fun seeing adults try the glasses for the first time. They are sure they are not going to work. Most kids know it has to be some kind of trick, but are willing to believe it will work somewhat. And I don't know why, but middle school girls for the most part think they are really seeing their bones, and it's gross! So don't put x-ray glasses in the same classification with Auto World's Auto Cutter. I've gotten more for my monies worth with x-ray glasses, than my old Auto Cutter in its day. Scott

Listen to Tulio on this. They are model kits. Have fun build them. That's what they were designed for. None the three are that rare, or worth a fortune as they are. Go for it! Scott
