    Kits moved to the clearance aisle here - what's left is a couple Coke vans, one Coke '32 sedan delivery, and one snow plow truck - none of them marked down. Star Trek stuff is on an end cap, all discounted to $10 each.

    It's still close . Worked pretty steadily, mostly on the '62 Chrysler Newports and casting rare parts, until the summer, when the family home in IL was sold and I packed up for the return to CA. The living arrangements here weren't quite what I expected, but everything's put away safe for my eventual retirement.

    A little inspiration - this '42 Continental convertible was sold at actor Jack Palance's estate auction back in '07; it had a dual carb manifold and dual exhausts:

    Or the Grinch?

    The kits here were moved to a regular shelf - mostly Coke vans and Pintos left, plus the Wacky Races, trikes and Star Trek stuff.

    Nova wagon on its way - may get it and the interior at the same time.

    Hmm. Well, whaddaya know - it's a real address: Wonder if the decal artist lived there?

    Al "He's the King" Hirt and a children's chorus (who sound oddly Australian) performing the theme from Santa Claus Conquers the Martians; the equivalent of putting a Ferrari engine in a Yugo:

    And for a little more atmosphere, Hawaiian Eye's Poncie Ponce:

    Officer (too) Friendly

    Solid girl group sound from New York, 1964 - The Orchids, "Christmas Is the Time to Be with Your Baby":
  13. ChrisBcritter
    The great Dinah Washington, from 1959 - "Ol' Santa" (aka Ol! Santa or Ole! Santa, depending on which 45 you find). Warm and wistful, should be a standard:

    The Boys Next Door - Christmas Kiss (1966): Group from Indiana who recorded many fine tracks and toured the Midwest a lot - even opening for the Beach Boys. Never quite hit the big time but Sundazed compiled a CD of their music that's worth a listen.

    The only version of "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" I can stand. Short, sweet and jazzy, with a riff from "One Mint Julep" worked in:

    I switched to 4K at 25% speed and got one sort-of-clear image. Looks like it's called "Custom & Competition Spokes 'n' Stripes Wheel and Tire Set":
  17. ChrisBcritter
    Hmm. Keep the base and backdrop, and instead put in a rusted-out Vega with optional Melted Engine - plus Frustrated Owner Figure pushing it over the cliff...

    Bleachbit Blanket Bingo?

    Quite a few, but most of all: '56/'57 Continental Mark II '59 DeSoto Fireflite (in black!) '57 Buick Century

    Never mind the kits - where do I get that hat??
  21. ChrisBcritter
    Got another NOS original issue '63 Nova wagon interior; had to pay through the nose this time - word must be getting out about it having better detail than the new one. Now to order up the full detail kit...
  22. ChrisBcritter
    sorry double post

    Link just goes to the main webpage for me, so let's try this:

    Good to know - either I can modify a Jo-Hann F-85 V8 to play the part for the '61, or look for a '62 wagon.
  25. ChrisBcritter
    Fine little kit - I have a neatly built '61 I inherited from a friend. I've stashed away all the underhood items from a scrapped JoHan '61 F-85 wagon in case I get ambitious and want to detail the engine compartment and put in a V-6 from the MPC Jeepster.
