Good stuff here : http://robdebie.home.xs4all.nl/models/visible-engines.htm
I started out with this kit ,Thanks Dad

I guess that's my point. I'm amazed here at all the gnashing of teeth not unlike what went on with the Rat Roaster '32. Jeez there ain't even a kit yet. Just an idea for a new direction. OK, we need a '57 Chevy convertible in 1/25th scale, but how about something fresh and new (different)? The Revell '50 Olds is a step in the right direction.
With the similarity in main body, chassis and maybe a few other parts, I think the model company's could russell us up a few Tri Five BOP's (Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac)
If you really think about it, that's what this hobby is all about. The imagination at work, whether it's the build or the feel of owning the real thing. and yes, I'd like to see all of those kits reissued.

Thinking about the original question, I think I prefer a picture of what's in the box, however, I realize box "Art" and maybe even fanciful photography will really "sell" a kit. I.E.
