He hasn't figured out if he wants to ship north of the line yet. If Fireball and Modelhaus can do it, I'm sure he can... sometime...

We're catching a temporary break here: kinda like spring the last few days... unfortunately, some freezing rain creating business for the bodyshops Beats the heck out of last year at this time Seems as good a place as any for this old midas commercial

Never met him, unfortunately.

Love those merc caps

Looks cool! Possible the pic and/or contents may need to be updated for accurate front wheels

Here's an F250 4x4 that had a dually axle swapped in (and '87-'96 dually outer fenders adapted). Because true F350 duallys use the same wheel front and back, it has special heavy duty hubs in front for the offset on the wheels. In scale, I guess you can just build whatever looks good to you

GM Canada's Maple Leaf truck. Made from the 30's to the early 50's. Interesting thing about the Beaumonts and Acadians was that the trim pieces were usually chrome castings vs the chevy's stamped aluminum pieces. I've been picking away at a '68 conversion and now that Canuck3d is making conversion sets for these Beaumonts maybe I'll finally get one done

Hilarious. About the same level of intelligence as exists in the world of new auto journalism must have created that. Lots of know-nothings out there in influential positions. I guess it could also be what seems to be a trend we've been seeing where once the license fees have been paid, there's no further oversite looking after representation of intellectual properties. We've seen the concept happen with a well known model kit release about ten years ago and even this... a sign dad was given years ago by a buddy. Legit with bar code and Ford license sticker. Horace and John were surely turning in their graves

Inspiration for a build... with a great backstory too... https://canadianrodder.com/forum/index.php?threads/62-ford-unibody-roof-swap-to-big-back-window.23652/

'58 Pathfinder '66 Beaumont '67 Beaumont '69 2+2 427 rag

Max Headroom edition....

Speaking of other things, I've been wanting to try reversing the snout on that blower to see if I can make it work on a small block Ford.

The caps in the Mercury kit are the correct style that should have been in these F100 kits from the start, ten years ago. For whatever reason, moeb chose to create an alternative reality where the F250 style caps (as in the '69 shortbox kit) were used in all their interpretations of the '67-'72 Ford half-tons.

One for C-body fans... A very scarce '69 Monaco 500 ragtop. Even had a Superlight up front. Dodge flipped the script north of the line; in the US, the Polaras had the convertible.

Stylists were sure big on the royal imagery; crowns, scepters, spears and... lions m

'56 Monarch 'Phaeton' hardtop

Hope you all had a great day with family and friends!

Beaumont wagon '55 Monarch '57 Meteor ranchero

'58 Parisienne 348 TriPower Since they were using the 348 anyways, it follows that a few of the other displacement versions of that engine might find their way into various Pontiacs; like this one One of about 75 '65 Parisienne Custom Sport 409s. As Mark B has pointed out, GM slightly modified the valve covers on these engines for use in the Pontiacs... No bowties

Nice! Here's a few more...

As I was re-reading an old Stirling North book when this fella popped out into the world, he got tagged with the name Rascal. Big marshmallow Real warrior but could snuggle with the best of them; those big paws would alternately flex when he was enjoying a good neck rub but you had to be careful how you held him as he would drool like crazy Sure miss him...

The '63/'64 Valiants were different north of the medicine line. They combined the Dart body with the Valiant front clip. I've yet to meet anyone lamenting the fact that Chryco didn't market those pop-eyed '63/'64 Darts up here

Life's good for mopar fans all around with the kits and fewspruesloose creating these...
