    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

    I think this is what was made: promos: '60 & '61 four-door, '62 coupe, '63 coupe & convertible, '64 coupe & convertible kits: '60 four-door, '61 coupe, '62 coupe, '63 coupe & convertible, '64 coupe & convertible

    It would be interesting to compare sales figures for car kits vs. Star Trek vs. 1/18th scale diecast.

    That looks to have 1936 wheels.

    I never noticed that before, so I just looked at the brochures for both years. I considered ordering an '87 Monte Carlo SS but didn't like the idea of decals cracking and shrinking, so I ordered an El Camino instead.

    The '86 had bucket seats in gray or maroon; the '87 had bucket seats in gray, maroon and saddle. Interestingly, bucket seats were optional. A cloth and vinyl bench seat was standard, with a fancier cloth (CL option) bench optional.

    Kits of new cars without an engine aren't a deal breaker for me since most engines have a huge plastic panel covering the top of the engine, effectively obliterating any engine detail. It isn't like the old days where you had a cross-ram manifold setup, tri-power, dual-quads, or a 283/327 with Fuel Injection.

    1948 Chevrolet Wagon in Toys & Hobbies for sale | eBay

    Here is the 1/28th 1948 Pontiac promo by National Products. It came in several colors.

    As already stated, this is great news. I hope they will also consider doing others such as the '48 Pontiac Streamliner (long wheelbase) or Torpedo (short wheelbase) sedan-coupe (Pontiac's name for this body style). Here is my Dad's '48 Streamliner:

    Who made the '69 Super Bee?

    the fender vent looks awful, too

    That will be disappointing if there are no improvements other than the tires and decals, but I'll buy it anyway.

    You missed my point, James.
