Also need too add the 1966 - 1977 Ford Bronco. Why has this one been overlooked? Scott Aho

I've never understood the lack of '73 through '77 GM A and G body cars as models. These cars were big hits in the day. Several I'd love see: 1. '73 Chevelle SS (2-door of course, but the wagon would be cool too). 2. '73 Monte Carlo. 3. '73 Buick Century GS or Regal. 4. Just about any '73 - '77 Cutlass Supreme, Cutlass Salon, or 4-4-2 (Supreme was one of the best selling cars of the 1970's). 5. '73 Pontiac Grand Prix or GTO. These were the last of the mid size GM cars with the 454 and 455 big blocks in them. I'd like them stock. But, many of these cars were raced. Especially in NASCAR. The other one that needs to be done are the 1977 through 1991 full size Chevrolets. Make mine a '77 Impala coupe. But, here's a car that I think would sell big in just about any body style. Coupe, sedan, or wagon. I don't remember many being raced. But think of all the cop cars, taxis, etc. Plus the "Family Truckster" type station wagons! I would love a Caprice Estate (3-seat version) with the fake wood. Someone else mentioned the '51 Ford. Again I don't understand why AMT never did this one years ago. Especially the '51 Victoria 2-door hardtop. The Victoria was only offered on the "shoebox" for '51. I like the front end of the '49 and '50s better. But, love that Victoria body style. Being that I mainly like building stock, I need a '51. My two cents on the Tucker? I think it might sell OK. Looking at all the die casts done over the last twenty years or so, there maybe a market for it. If it's ever done, I know I'll buy one. Scott Aho

WOW! Very nice! Looks like the real thing. Scott Aho

Hey no cheating, showing real cars! Just kidding. You did a fantstic job! Very nice. Scott Aho

None of the cars you listed were offered in the mid-60's. Scott Aho

Jesse, who makes the resin conversion. And how does it look? Being a Riv fan, I may just have to attempt building one. Scott Aho

The new 2014 Impala is a very nice looking. Few modern car excite me. The new impala is one. Scott Aho

Despite having other kits I'd like to see tooled by Moebius or others in the future. I'm very happy with what Moebius has done so far (both in cars and sci fi subjects). Every Moebius kit I've purchased so far, I've been very happy with. I'm looking forward to the '65 Comet Cyclone, both Ford pickups, the '61 Ventura, and the '65 Plymouth. If they keep doing kits like these. I'll keep spending my money on them. Thanks Moebius. Scott Aho

I love the new Corvette. And I love Corvette plastic promo models. So I need one of each. A 2014 Corvette coupe. And a 2014 Corvette convertible. This is the first Corvette without chrome bumpers that I really, really like. Chevrolet did a great job on this car and their present generation Camaros. Scott Aho

Very little to comment on here, other than to say, a very nice '59 Dodge Steven! Great job. Scott Aho

Very nice Buick. When I attend the Buick Club of America nationals, this is one of the years I do judging on. From what I can see, if your Buick was a real car, it would do quite well at any BCA meet. Scott Aho

I love Rivieras. And I love your's Lucas (even without mirrors, Harry). The only thing I was confused by, is you titled this as "1969 Buick Riviera Soft Top". To me a "soft top" is a convertible. I opened this post expecting to see a custom '69 Riv convertible. Instead I find a very, very nice '69 Riviera hardtop with a vinyl roof. I'm not a big fan of vinyl roofs. But yours looks great. Scott Aho

Very nice job Al. Love the pre-'69 Grand Prixs. Especially the '67s. The only year Pontiac offered a Grand Prix convertible. Love that front end. The regular '67 full-size Pontiacs had a great looking front end. The Grand Prix was just one step better. Again, great job Al. Mirrors or not, your model looks great. Scott Aho

Lovely! I expect to finish mine in the next week or two. Love '62 Buicks. I use to own a real '62 LeSabre. No where as nice as an Electra 225, but nice none the less. I also know somebody who presently owns a very nice fullsize '62 Wildcat, in basically the same color as you paint your kit. Again, very nice job. I like it. Scott Aho

Too many! Always have several kits in different stages. Painting seems to dictate what kits get done when. Scott Aho

As a kid I always loved building the customs with the parts that came in the box. AMT 1960's kits were great for this. I also loved show cars like the Deora, Predicta, and Tom Daniel's stuff. As an adult. Post war cars, I mainly build factory stock. Pre war Fords and such, I like street rods. Pre war classics, stock. Trucks, mainly factory stock. And I still like some of the old show rods and factory concept cars. In general, I like to build cars and trucks that could be realistically driven on the street if they were a real full size vehicles. Recently, the reissued MPC Zingers, which I never like back in the day, got me interested in building old drag cars. That lead me to picking up Tom Daniel's S'cool Bus. That and AMT's Double '25 T kit, got me interested in AMT's Double Dragster kit. Plus more. Where I'll go from here? I'm not sure. I know I'm continue mainly building factory stock renditions of cars and trucks. But, I'm interested in just about everything and plan on not closing the door on most anything. Scott Aho

Sorry to say, but I drive one of the most boring cars in the world. A great car. But, boring. I drive a 2000 Buick LeSabre Custom 4-door sedan with just under 110,000 miles on it. It still looks pretty good. Some rust is just starting to show. One of the most reliable vehicles I've ever own. Decent gas mileage. 23 mpg in town. 30 mpg on the highway. I've got very little to complain about. It's dark green with gray cloth. Nothing fancy. Just boring and nice. Scott Aho

I want the '61 Ventura and '65 Comet big time! The Satellite is high on my list too. The '54 Hudson not so much. I already have their previous coupe and convertible kits which I love. But, I've never been a big fan of the facelift Hudson did on their big cars for '54. Others have mentioned wanting station wagon models from Moebius. I'm all for this too. Also I'd like see somebody do a 1960 Chrysler 300F. Preferably in a convertible. I'd also love to see a '71 or '72 boattail Buick Riviera. Scott Aho

Very nice. I didn't know Alclad made candy color paint. Scott Aho

It's not true that all cars in any state were required to have catalytic converters. They were just required to meet emission standards for that year. If they could meet it without a converter, that was OK. Honda was also selling cars without catalytic converters at this same time. In fact they made a big point out that fact in their advertising at the time. Look up info on Honda's mid-70's CVCC motors. Scott Aho

Your right about the real Road Runner switching to the '76 Volare body, from the '75 Fury body. I'm not sure what MPC was doing here. It's was no secret early in 1975 that the '76 Road Runner would be based on the new Volare. Eventually MPC built a Volare promo. And for '77 they offered a Volare Road Runner kit. So what was MPC thinking here for '76? Scott Aho

Oh... Volkswagen Thing! Never understood why this vehicle has never been offer as kit? Scott Aho

Ah... Mr. Geiger. I'm with you. As you've noted we both grew up at the same time. High School Class of '76. And the people around me were pretty much blue collar, middle class. We rode and drove in lots of so called "loser" cars. The first new car my Dad ever bought was a '61 Comet. With no options, other than heater. His second new car was a '67 Comet 202 "Sports Coupe". The Sports Coupe package gave you vinyl seats and carpeting over cheap cloth seats and vinyl floors. That car also had a heater (standard by then), a radio (!), and full wheel covers (maybe part of the Sport Coupe package?). We thought we were livin in luxury! By the way, my Mother drove the new cars. My Dad drove beaters back and forth to work. In 1971 my Dad bought one of the first Toyota Hilux pickup trucks in this part of country. When that rusted out 6 years later, he bought himself a new '77 Mustang II. Four-cylinder, automatic, radio and heater. By that time my Mother was driving a '75 Mercury Monarch they bought new two years earlier. Six-cylinder, three-on-the-tree, radio and heater. My folks were cheap. Until I wrecked the Monarch, and my Mother decided to buy a new car without my Father's input. She bought a new '80 Olds Delta 88 Holiday Coupe. Buckets, automatic, ps, pb, air, and cruise! Another "loser" car I grew up with, was a buddy of mine parent's bought a new Chevy Vega in 1971. You hear a lot of bad things about Vegas. Especially the early ones. Can't prove it by me. My buddy, "Dirty Dave" was hard on everything. He beat the living BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH out of that car. The only way he could kill it, was by getting it t-boned at intersection, totaling it. By that time the Vega was six or seven years old! So I too love the "loser" cars of the 60's and 70's. And I enjoy building models, like AMC Pacers (and Gremlins). And proudly displaying them on my selves. Scott Aho

Way to go Liam and Mike. It's more than just another '63 Vette now.
