@Rob Hall oh, my gosh, I spotted a PALMER Cougar in your stash!

I bought High Performance Cars magazine at Jason's on the way home from Dearborn High and before that, kits at Jack's, and Kresge's at Westborn Mall. The ACE hardware also had a good selection as did Harb's on Monroe. By the way, the dental and doctor's office attached to Jack's was torn down last year and the former drug store and party store is for sale.

Believe what you want. 🙄

you are incorrect; I saw one at a Dearborn show (predecessor of the Toledo show) in 1978; the guy wanted $25.00 for it when a mint purple '70 Cuda model sold for $10.00; the Mach 1 was talked about by many of us sellers at the show and sold quickly

Does anyone know if the promo came in any colors other than red and black?

The Ridler award winner at the 2019 Detroit Autorama. It combined a '59 Cadillac with a Nomad wagon.

Disappointing news since they were supposedly going to make some improvements to the tooling.

A '70 or '71 Sport Fury GT would be an interesting kit subject.

here it is:

a 23-foot competition roadster pickup?

My uncle worked at Ford and stored his 1950s promos under the basement stairs. Some actually did not warp. I bought some and sold the rest for him in 1978. You can find a decent '55 with patience.

The only "Aluminum Model Toy" AMT produced before switching to injection-molded plastic for 1949 was the 1946-1948 Ford Fordor sedan, which came out in 1948 and was a diecast 1/25th scale model. For 1949, AMT produced the Ford Custom and Plymouth 4-door sedans.

I'm guessing that those putting on the show don't contact the moderators on this forum.

correct; the '63 Ford truck promo had the front and rear license plates updated for '64 and '65; another weird situation as with the '66 Impala SS and Wildcat using the '65 interior
