You could buy them in toy stores, so why not? I think they were considered toys for years until we grew older and more serious about building. The term has been debated for years, as some take it as an insult.

I've seen at least two. One in Tonica, IL in 1990, and the remains of one in Massachusetts in 1992.

Some of the shows still have a season or two of content to come, according to the Motor Trend website, so don't give up on the channel just yet.

Okay then, sorry.

I built one in the 1980s or '90s, in the Green livery. I don't have it to take any pictures of it, but IIRC the most frustrating part was the decal striping. I remember it being a neat little kit.

No wonder why I couldn't find the kits on the Artesania website, if they were out of production. I have a few different issues of the Venerable Hawk/Testors 1:48 scale plastic kit. One could have a fun display with all the different liveries those kits were offered in.

OcCre makes a 1:24 scale wood/multimedia kit of a double-ended cable car. I wasn't aware of the Artesania Latina kits.

I was prompted to double check my pantry when cans started spontaneously self-destructing or oozing black goo. Good thing I did take a closer look, as I found some fairly recent cans I have started using up, including a tin of SPAM.

Which kit is this?

Sounds like a setup for some old B-Movie.

Incidentally, reading up on "Rush" it seems that vintage race cars were used along with some replicas. As the movie progressed, the cars changed in detail, mirroring rule changes over the race seasons.

Skip the trunk vents, and I think I'd wrap the rear window through the C-Pillars like the Riviera. I wouldn't want to have to parallel park it as is. ? As it is, the C-Pillar keeps grabbing my eye. It's so prominent.

Was there an earlier Niki Lauda film? I have a foggy memory of a magazine write-up of the filming of a crash scene using a mockup pulled along by a cable. This would have been a few decades ago.

Would be funny if the race driver was once a fighter pilot. Wasn't Days O' Thunder filmed partially during an actual race?

Stores do use the Sell By dates to make sure products are properly rotated on the shelf. I do wonder if manufacturers would like to be considered liable for outdated food. Do food banks accept outdated foods?

I also found this can in the same cabinet. I like the graphics. I don't know how often they changed their copyright, but the date shown on the can is just a few years after my family moved into our home (now mine). I wonder how much it's worth. Is there a collectors guide somewhere? ? Can says it's cultured. The buttermilk must have gone to the opera, taken in some art exhibits and studied classical music.

Here's the package of Jello that touched off this thread. The funny thing is, as a vintage object with graphics, the cover art doesn't grab me. The flavor (artificial, even!) doesn't excite me either. ? Sadly it's not worth the big bucks in this condition. It's also not worth my time to consider listing it on eBay. ? Instant pudding? I don't have time for that....

The Wayside Country Store I mentioned above is interesting in that it, along with some other historical properties, was once owned by Henry Ford, who had it moved to its present location by oxen and reassembled. The store does have some interesting old knickknacks on display, and they do sell actual present-day penny candy. The antique candy is not for sale. ?

On display at the Wayside Country Store in Massachusetts, they have some genuine antique candy, over a century at this point. Does it look appetizing? (Seen here in 2013).

Here's a genuine antique unopened tin of SPAM. Ebay listing You could wash it down with this unopened bottle of Gatorade. Ebay listing There appears to be a thriving market for "unused food". https://picclick.com/Popular/vintage-unopened-food I found an unopened package of JELLO pudding mix in my kitchen cabinet apparently dating from the 1980s. The box has a crease in it, so it's probably not worth much. ?
