Keep your eyes peeled - solid and running CA car just sold at an estate auction a couple days ago for $3000: More info and photos here: https://bid.bidfastandlast.com/ui/auctions/131190/18045357 I imagine the wheels and the old repaint kept the bids down. It was originally Nautilus Gray metallic with a red vinyl interior.

OK, how about magazine clues: The make of the long vehicle they're in is also the name of a fashion magazine, and the plot turns on this image the two women find in a book of the occult - actually from National Geographic's June 1937 issue (had to censor it a bit):

The late master modeler Tom Piagari had this same project in the pipeline - converting a '64 back to a '63 by making molds of the '63 trim off of a promo, stretching and shaping the molds to straighten out the warp and casting copies of the trim.

No guesses? OK, some hints. Four main cast members: #1. Member of an acting family. Nominated twice for Oscars - once for writing and once for acting (not in this film). In his first movie (the third featuring the same main character) his car was the '53 Chevy that was used as Wally Cleaver's car in Leave it to Beaver. #2. Kentucky native. Did some TV, then his first (uncredited) movie role was in a Cary Grant picture. Like #1, he also drove a Chevy convertible in one of his movies - a red '62. Died rather young. #3. Starred in over 250 episodes of a TV series over many years. Her first (largely forgotten) film co-starred Alan Arkin. #4. Also starred in over 250 episodes of a TV series - but over a much shorter period. In her first movie, co-starred with Robert De Niro.

"Keys to the M.G. will be in his hands", sang Bobby Bloom in "Montego Bay".

Very cool! The Partridge Family had nothing on you guys!

My favorite Hudsons

Probably an easy one: "I don't believe a school bus on Sunday!"

The French Connection.

I took a whack at this a while back - also found a good '36 center and was going to cast a 2-piece center and rim.

Bruise is what you and I do to each other in Art Garfunkel's "All I Know".

"Enough already" sang Judy Garland in I Could Go On Singing.

Wonder how hard it would be to combine the HUG body with the new kit to make a stock-ish '66 Barracuda?

The AMT '49 sedan promos come in two versions. The early ones have suicide rear doors and no gas cap: This was soon corrected:

From a current listing on eBay. Note how the centers all have various sinking issues; the bottom one seems least affected:

I wouldn't wait for Round2, Moebius or Revell for anything on that list - the 3D print makers and resin casters will have them long before the big manufacturers would.

Hmm. Slant 6 plug, but with that emblem it looks like there may be a V8 in the future?

Hampshire Sour Cream is great on a baked potato with butter and salt.

Most stuff I get is used, but I'll be putting in pre-orders on the new AMT Barracuda and Chevy wagon as soon as I can. I think it'll take most model companies (except Atlantis) a couple years at least to bring production back to the US.

The wagon promos had the correct two per side, but the Craftsman had three for some reason (maybe they used the Impala chrome tree?) plus the wheelcovers were poorly simplified.

Jaw hits table... Who would have thought the '60 Nomad would come back? I'd have expected the El Camino, maybe. Having owned a promo and a Craftsman kit, I knew the Nomad was frankly pretty crudely done even compared to the rest of the AMT '60 line. The prototype already looks way better than the original kit; will it be engineered so the '59 El Camino chassis and running gear drop in? Would be missing a golden opportunity if they didn't. That Barracuda chassis will be going under a lot of Craftsman Valiant and Fireball 500 kits, I bet! Looks like the engine filler is supposed to be a slant 6 as was in the original kit. Good on ya, Round2! ? Now about that '66 Skylark...
