Yes, the Corvette Wheel Covers must be what I was thinking of. Thank You for clearing that up! And, now I know that my Dad built the second edition. I had one of those Wheels in my stash box for years, but it has gone adrift.

Johnny Lightning Packaging mistake

I've had this happen with Sealed Cars I bought in the 2003-2005 time frame. -
My only thought on the '34 Pickup, is please, please restore (Mustang?) Hupcaps from the Original Edition. My Dad built that kit for me when I was about 8 years old. I'd like to build a truck in honour of him, using those parts. Other than that, it is one of the easiest of the AMT Trophy Kits to build.

And Speaking of MMtC, here is a video that will explain pretty much everything about the show, so you never need to watch it, LOL. Bunch of really nifty Old Cars in here, including pics of the 1928 Porter as it was seen before it was restored in the show. The Unrestored version might make a really neat weathered build.

This was my first car. Bought it in 1980. I was a Junior in High School. It is a 1953/53 Dodge M-43 Ambulance. Paid $800.00 for it. Weighs about 8900 lbs. 4 Speed Trans. High/Low transfer case. 2wd/4wd. In the High range only 2nd,3rd & 4th could be used on the street. 1st gear was a Granny Low, about 10 mph top speed. Despite the size of the wheels and brake drums, the actual brake shoes are smaller than a Plymouth Valiant. I sold it in 1991. -

Nope, not Software. Just Fools. You are correct about the origins of the MMtC kit. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/show-rods/amt-xr-6-27-t--ford/ https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/tv--movie/amt-my-mother-the-car/ The MMtC added a Set of 3 new Hood Parts, a Radiator, and spacer to mount it on, a Radio, an a 5 piece Gas Tank and Base, and a Trunk. Not much else is changed. Close examination of the instructions shows most of the kit is a straight carry over.

Indeed, I saw a 1/4 Miler as well.

The Revell '37 Ford Pickup in the 2'n'1 Version has a nice Hopped up Flathead also. -

WARNING! Not all 1/25 scale is equal.

It was a designer for Monogram, IIRC. In am article in SAE about 30 Years ago. It might be Horseapples to you Ace, but I remember the quote. It made sense to me then, as he was referring to Models designed in the 1970's. Artistic License, made a great explanation for all the Scorn heaped on the Body Shapes of the 1956-57 Chevies tooled back then. -
