It really seems like the way to go . When marketed correctly as many series have been, they just go on forever, I.E. Revell '32 Fords, Monograms '65-'66 Mustangs. and Revells '59 - '60 Chevys.
I was thinkin' AMT '59. But your Revell would be so much better. and a sedan delivery, and a station wagon, and a six cylinder, and a 283, and a 348, WOW !
