    I would not be surprised if Round2 has a '66 Barracuda promo or kit that can be cloned to revive it.

    AMT made promotional model cars of the 1949-1951 Ford Custom 4-door sedan. They come with mirrored metal 'glass' inserts since there is no interior. Remote control and windup versions were also available. If you are patient, you can find nice examples without warpage.

    the '74 and '75 Cutlass grilles are incorrect; a '73 442 would be the most appropriate choice of the three years

    I have never seen one in this color combination, and I grew up in Ford country (Dearborn)!

    The AMT '69 Impala SS also has the plastic front axle pieces, and I would guess the Wildcat does, too.

    Steve Goldman of Round2 indicated that they corrected the 'B' pillar on the Demon to make it more accurate to the real car.

    1970 through 1973 Duster 340:

    I would only be interested in a stock version. Hopefully it would come with the 6 and the 302.

    @SteveG here's a suggestion for Round2, a '72 Duster Twister I saw at the Greenfield Village Motor Muster this Summer:

    sounds like a kinky fantasy ...

    What a poor execution for a model kit. It should have been accurately scaled and capable of being built stock.

    I think the Pinto name is poison after the gas tank issues and lawsuits. I liken it to Chevy bringing back a Corvair or Vega or Chevette. My sister worked in the parts dept. at a Chevy dealer and the employees called the Chevette the shove-it.

    that's unfortunate

    Hopefully this will follow:

    It's probably the '68 Coronet R/T hardtop or a '68-'70 Charger.

    great detail shots; thanks, Tim;

    Jo-Han bodies and the later interiors were very accurate. Those parts could be cloned and then tool all-new chassis and engine compartment to provide the detail that modelers expect from a new kit.

    I'm sure a lot of modelers would be interested in the '67 to '70 Eldorado, some of the deVilles, the 442s, Toronados, 300s, Furys, '70 GTX and Road Runner, '68-'70 Javelins, and AMXs. Not everyone wants to build every iteration of Camaro, Chevelle or Mustang.

    Justin, How has the most recent reissue of the '69 XL been selling? Do the '65 Bonneville and Grand Prix, '66 Wildcat and Park Lane sell decently every time they are reissued?

    Dearborn used some Lincolns. A Mark VI would be cool ... The Dearborn Police from the 1970s until Present – Dearborn Historical Museum (thedhm.org)

    What an excellent job you did researching all of these variations. Thanks, Chris.

    I sat in one at the Woodward Cruise. It was easy to fall into, but difficult to get out of! I think the mid-engine design is fine. The styling is a bit busy and would look better if the side scoop (air intake) was the same color as the body.

    Is the '57 Bel Air with an opening trunk the same one that has a separate frame and floorpan?
  25. Motor City
    there was a 1960 Comet 4-door promo ...
