That’s what I’d like to know. The last Atlantis catalog (2021) I saw listed the release date “2022”. I keep looking for it in every email they send but I have yet to see any mention of it.

I agree with the all new ‘57 Ranchero. Revell could use/modify their current ’57 tool. I would like to see the multi piece ‘57 Ranch Wagon reissued too.

The headlight placement is very interesting. They are still mostly hidden and you maintain the aerodynamics at night. Kinda wonder how restricted the air is to the engine compartment, however. Maybe a single headlamp system would allow more air flow, though it could have a negative affect on the aesthetics?🤔 Great build for sure!👍 Come to think about it, the lights are hidden in that spot pretty much anyway if they were stock. sorry about the sloppy post. I didn’t mean to quote Snake and then 2 edits! 😵‍💫

Looks great! Only missing a tommy gun wielding gangster on the running board!

I like your chop better 👍

Nicely done!

Is it really $5 a jar?🤔😁

$3.99. A buck or two more than I would have guessed

More like what I DIDN’T get. Finally got to my favorite LHS (over 2hrs away). I was friendly greeted by the man behind the counter and asked if I was looking for anything in particular. “Yes,” I said, “Model Car Magazine”. “I think we’re all out” was the reply, and he directed to their magazine section. He was right, no MCM! 😟 I did manage to pick up some primerand a cheap balsa glider suggested by my son as a fun project and a introduction to modeling to share with my 3 yr old granddaughter. She really enjoyed painting and flying it!It was worth the trip!

I would have to agree with you for the most part however Atlantis must think there’s enough interest to consider the reissue of the Buick (unless they just like teasing us old fogies!)

😟Am I the only one? The stock kits were selling for some strong money a few years ago. And the custom kits were and I believe still are dirt cheap. (I don’t know what the current market is) I would have to assume that presence of or lack stock parts is a lot of the reason. There seems to be some interest in the pending reissue of the stock ‘56 Buick. I would think a stock Chrysler would generate the same interest. I will say the whole series would be exciting in 1:25 scale!

Very cool ride

Looks very good in that color!

The custom version of the Chrysler lacks only the stock grille and wheels. You would think that with all the custom kits out there a resin caster would be offering these stock parts individually or perhaps as a “conversion kit”. If Atantis has all the tooling (stock and custom) they could come up with a two in one kit (with glass!)

Aurora also made multi piece bodies. This is their Cunningham. I believe they did several foreign sports car kits.

The 1956 Mercury. (From the glue bomb lot) It’s only missing the bumper so hope to resurrect it some day maybe using a Ford bumper (?) Posted it to show the division of body parts.

I have been working on 2 ‘56 Chryslers and didn’t experience this issue. The hoods required no more tweaking than most kits. I did switch the rear deck pieces - the original issue deck with the last issue deck for a more compatible fit for both. (Go figure) However I don’t think that anything to do with the hood fit. There is a small gap along the leading edge and I can live with that. The green (original issue) glue bomb was part of an ebay lot of Revell 1:32 built ups. It appears that the fenders are pinching the hood out of place. It also seems to be a little too long.The gap where the deck, side and roof meet seems to be the big issue for this kit. It must be filled to look decent. Had it not been for this gap on the right side one could paint a tritone color scheme with minimal masking before assembly as the body pieces are mated along the color breaks. Only the top part of the doors would require masking. I couldn’t live with that gap!As you can see I still need to foil the trim to bring out the details. But no gap!

I have completed the’49 Ford. The proportions are atrocious! The bumpers are too wide for the body and the front, especially the grille, is too flat (for lack of a better description). Deck lid appears to be way too short as well when compared to the Chrysler and Aurora’s Cunningham.The wheels are from the’56 Ford. I found the kit wheels too confusing to detail!

It’s been nearly a year since anyone has posted here. I haven’t seen the ’56 Buick listed in the Atlantis catolog so far. 🙁

Very nice indeed!

You certainly breathed new life into that Duster!

Your builds are killin'! LOL hope you have a better new year

Or is it a different model? Was it the yellow one? I’m not sure after giving it a second look 🧐🤔

Looking good in green! The new color scheme has really changed its appearance for the better.

I’m sure there is more to see that I missed too!
