  1. it is.
  2. I have a friend who is a Lobbyist in Sacramento. He works for the Various Car Clubs and councils in SoCal to try to keep the C.A.R.B. at bay. He tells me the California DMV show's more 1932 Fords registered in CA, than Henry built. While this may be an exaggeration, I have no doubt that across the U.S. there are now far more '32 Fords in existence, than were ever built. As far as None Left cars, there is no real way of quantifying how many car disappeared. I do know that the last un-restored Stutz Bearcat changed hands just after WW2. So what we have now, are all that will ever be left, as even the three Barris reproductions, have achieved "Un-obtianium". status.
  3. I remember reading threads over on the another Site (S***R** R****) when Steve Scott was first contacted by Uncertain-T enthusiasts. There were some great guys, standing by to help. He blew them all off, and then started to "enhance" his story. The whole story lost it's lustre pretty quickly for me, although I suspect that the few Die-Hard Un-T fans are still dragging this along. Art Anderson's point about the original kit, sales volumes is a good one. While I doubt that the sales records exist anymore, I'd really like to see how the kit sold, especially the second time around. If it had outsold the first release, I doubt Monogram would have scrapped to tool. Notice that even the nailhead engine never turned up in anything else. By now this whole story is just old,old news. alexis
  4. Hello, all. After lurking for a year or two, I've signed up. I am a Big fan of 4x4s, ShowRods and pre-1940 vehicles of all kinds. I also build 1/48 Planes from WW2. I am glad to be here. Alan Alexis
