Always liked this song of his:

Chad's reindeer hat

and International Harvesters

or other Packard

A few more details: The Chrysler 300 grille was marked as a '62 on the package, but it's really a '61 due to the "CHRYSLER" lettering on the top - that was '61-only. Good to know if you want to convert a Jo-Han '61 New Yorker to a 300 - although I recall it being a little larger than the Jo-Han grille. The '57 Buick grille is different from the one in the old '57 Chevy kit; the parts pack one is wider and more curved - possibly Super/Roadmaster. The '60 Mercury grille has separate inner headlights like the custom piece in the '59 El Camino kit, but the lenses are molded in. (Anyone have both on hand to compare length?)

My Yucca Valley Walmart not having kits has been sort of a running gag here, but as I passed by the crafts section (nowhere near the toys) the other day:

and half not

and a kaboodle

Another childhood memory popped up: Topps discount department store in Niles, IL in '66 or so had a big tray full of unboxed '65 AMT promotionals. I got a turquoise Galaxie 500 hardtop and a white Falcon convertible (both played with to death long ago, although I've replaced the Galaxie).

...or at Lucerne Valley Market and Hardware? The hobby aisle has a little model section with some Tamiya armor/aircraft and Atlantis kits, plus a rack of Testors enamels. Little town way out in the CA high desert about 35 miles NW of Yucca Valley and about 15 miles SE of Victorville.

That's not the half of it - found out yesterday the buyer flipped it to somebody in England for $40k!

How about a lint roller?

customed, or competitioned

Hi, Okey! Welcome to the forum!

All I have to say is - that's one funny-looking Batmobile!

Not bad! Will there be whitewall tires?

What? Speak up!
