    I posted the Cobra wagon in response to the Pinto side discussion, which seemed outside of the realm of the thread. ? Also, it might give someone some kitbashing ideas.

    That's what the aftermarket is for. ?

    I posted this some time ago. Show is from the 1980s-90s. There were also some fascinating model making TV shows in England. Scroll down to my next post in the above discussion. Edit: I just noted that the link goes to the start of the thread, not my individual post. Sorry. See page 5 of that thread.

    I first picked up some wheels and parts from Don Mills' shop 20 years ago or more. I think he's still selling. I've always wondered where he got his tires from.

    1966 clay.

    Sport wagon. ?

    Seen at a museum tucked in next to the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Museum in Auburn Indiana (1997).

    And you thought a 1/8 scale Chevy was big... https://www.therpf.com/forums/threads/millennium-falcon-1-6-scale.333219/

    Close look at some Ghostbusters and Back To The Future stuff:

    The venerable Earl Hays Press has been making props for productions, along with theater posters for decades. Ever wonder how prop newspapers are made?

    Some of us are fond of Johan for the "oddball" subjects, the Pontiacs, the Oldses, the Cadillacs and the Studebakers.

    Show rods were often not even drivable. Some had incomplete engines/drivetrains.

    Plastic kit of a noodle truck: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/aoshima-010822-kyouto-yataiaji-ramen-mobile-food-shop--306210 Wrong scale, but here's a similar one by Tomica (in my collection). Lots of neat detail for a 3-inch toy.

    The story reminds me of the fabulous design study articles I saw in Collectible Automobile magazine years ago.

    Well, 1:10 scale R/C trucks are popular now. ? Thanks for the info. I stumbled upon that image file and vaguely remembered some discussion on the Hobby Heaven board regarding those. I think it's fascinating how wheel styles can be stuck in a particular era.

    These were from around 15-20 years ago, and were around 1:8 scale IIRC. I came across this image in my files, collected back then for future reference. I don't recall seeing the actual product. They might be of interest for 1:8 kit builders if they're the right size...

    One of my cars got so rusty I had no jacking points left (rocker panels), so it didn't even matter that the screw jack had rusted solid. ? Come to think of it, I haven't even needed to use a jack in years.

    Okay Boomer. ? Old folks in the 1960s and '70s had plenty of contempt for long-haired scruffy-looking young men who also dressed funny.

    Wooden bodywork. Wood spoke wheels. Solid tires. Hand crank start. ?

    In someone's front yard I saw the burned-out hulk of what appeared to have once been a '59 Chevy. ?
  23. Brian Austin
    I saw a 20-something year old Dodge/Plymouth/Chrysler Cirrus/Breeze, etc. In the few seconds I saw it cross my path it appeared to be in good condition. My '00 Stratus turned to dust roughly a decade ago.

    I saw most of the ending, then later on happened upon the last few seconds of the Monaco GP.
