I'm no fan of the Prius, though I would take a Volt in a heartbeat as a daily driver (and would keep my Cherokee for days like today )

Actually, the A-Team kits (as well as most of the 1/1's) were also sliding door vans, not sure why they got rid of the ribs, unless the 1/1 pre-'78 vans were also lacking in ribs too. Our '87 and the neighbor's '85 both had the side ribs and I'm pretty sure our '78 also had the side ribs (but different side trim) and all three had roof ribs.

And that was a joy driving through too.................

We got it at work yesterday or this morning, planning on buying that and another Gremlin tonight.

Just wait till you get into something with e-clips Andy!

I've seen that car before, it's pretty sweet but the owner seemed like a preachy douche.

What about that Rumbler snapper from AMT?

My guess would be to keep a bit of a family appearance.

Was that LIncoln from around here Ron?

That's some of the reason I wanted it, the Hudson, the van kits, ect, they're not the usual Tri-5 Chevy, Pony Car, Muscle, or Tuner Car.

I'd have no problem driving a car like the Volt on a daily basis, could get away with only running on electricity for daily use and just plug it in to top off the pack every night with the slow charger (which would be better for the pack anyway.) A Hemi Challenger would be nice to have as a play thing, but probably would be just as useless as a typical hybrid in really bad weather....which my Jeep would shine in compared to those

I never caught that, probably neccessary after the loss of the original McCormick Place though.

Yea, I was going to say that looked like McCormick Place #2.

that is weird.................

Sorry to hear he passed on. BTW, that Deuce 5 window is sweet looking too!

Wayne, if the insurance on that was in any way comparable to what my '85 Lebaron Turbo cost me when I first got it ay the age of 18, I couldn't blame you! Luckily I didn't need to pay full coverage on that car, liability cost me $1900/yr to start, then dropped down to $1500/yr after I turned 19........if I had gotten full coverage it would have been $3200/yr, and I only paid $2300 for it

Werecar Bender had to be inspired by " The CAR" and of you pay attention to the werecar that hit him, it appeared to be Plymouth Fury

Definately real, look at all the holes around the roof that would be microscopic on a model, if even possible.

I bought it because of all the kustom goodies in the kit (the reel to reel definately reviels the kit's age though) and it being a vintage kit that I couldn't afford if it were closer to being new.

Looks heavy, but pretty sturdy.

Trundle front suspension?

The first thing that crossed my mind when I heard about Green Bay's slaughter..........................................

Problem around here isn't just the weather, it's the massive amounts of salt used to combat ice on top of it. Somehow my '98 XJ has stayed amazingly solid so far (I just finally noticed what looks like the beginings of rust bubbles in the rockers this summer) but the '90 Dad and the '92 my Sister had werein horrible shape when they were scrapped, you could see inside the rockers and the quarters would let sunlight through.

Unless the Bears are stomping the Packers, I could care less.........unfortunetly, I work with two and we now have a TV with cable at the back of the store that football gets watched on........wonder if I can watch NASCAR or ALMS at work this summer then

Not really Rodney, they pretty much all rotted away from around here years ago.
