    Did you use a 65 Riviera roof back to make a 4 door sports roof?

    Better chance of seeing the Opel than the 1973 Pontiac.

    They used to work with 1/10 wooden models from a car company. Then to a pantograph. Probably what happened.

    The basic problem is demographics; no younger kids are entering the hobby. $20+ each is a bit much to buy several kits. An hour at McDonald's used to buy you a kit, but not today. Kits were sold everywhere back in the '1970s. Also, the auto companies helped subsidize the development of kits in the beginning. That's gone. Who knows how the Revell situation will turn out. Maybe better, or not.

    If you can pop out he glass on your dad's Superbird, restore it or build a twin. Ruining his model is a mistake, leave it alone.

    When I was in Berlin 2006 there was a company called Trabant Safari where they take on tour of Berlin and check-point Charlie in in a Trabant.

    I always thought the Monogram 1956 Chevy was a very decent kit.

    That image of interior looks like the 1972 high back bench seat. My Grand Torino Sport had that seat.

    If we say that we like the General Lee, we are considered immature or the R word.

    The Orange box with 400 engine is the best. My 69 Camaro reissue has a Pontiac OHC6 and 400 engine but no chevy V8. That's how messed up kits in the 70-80s got!
