You must NOT be talking about Palmer!

They gotta be mostly sold to the restaurant trade. I just can't see a global demand for this. Imagine the roundtable discussion. Group is sitting around the table, having lunch and someone says: "You know what we need a model kit of? Oh and pass the soy sauce."

They're in the glove compartment. ?

Can't be too much of a success - the snow around her isn't even melting. ?

Gotta laugh at this. Box explains it all! No need to ask where the kit is:

I have one of those. Works better than the one with batteries! ?

Just found this thread. Might answer some questions. Then again, it might just make more.

Hopefully it'll include the Air Induction hood this time as the "teardrop-half-hoodscoop" version of 78-79 that was in the Pro Street issue is incorrect for the stock 81. And if it's not too much trouble, a little correction to the rear spoiler would do a lot to improve the appearance. Oh and please, complete decal sheet details and include multiple colors for the stripes. Please and Thank You! 68 GTO sounds excellent, I've got a few 72s that are itching to donate their chassis parts to the cause. Or were you planning to do that in the future anyway?

They shouldn't do that. If they don't have it and aren't going to create them, that just leads to questions and disappointments. On the other hand, if it has anything to do with the special kit that has yet to be announced.... ?

Here you go. My favorite is Marina Turquoise. ?

Looks like Chad got a peek inside the Supra - it has no shrink wrap. I hope Hobby Lobby gets the Comet, Monte Carlo and Supra on their next changeover, I'd like to get a few of each.

Love the comparison shots of major and minor. Accuracy is top notch. Great job!

I can't tell, which one is it? Madden, Gruden or Jackson? Reminds me of an old joke: "I knew a girl who was so dumb, she thought a football coach had 4 wheels!" ????

Those are cool. I always liked the 80s Cadillac limos. Reminded me of prestige.

Looks like a man and his father. What a difference!

My fave is the 50th anniversary T/A. Of course.

The joke was the tiger had a better apartment in Ohio than he had in NY. He's moving on up! ?

What size was his apartment in Ohio?

Did he say "timeshare"?! ?

Cool, nice drawing!

Brought this back up because it's a fascinating read. My Johan story goes like this. I used to buy them on a regular basis from the only hobby shop in my area that carried the full line. This was about the mid 80s. I remember the USA Oldies were priced, across the board, at $5 exactly. For that time, five bucks was a good deal for any model kits and Johan had some unique muscle cars in the lineup. 1:1 muscle cars were hot in the mid 80s, so I grabbed all I could afford. I distinctly remember buying the 70 Olds 442, 69 AMX, 69 Roadrunner and the 70 Rebel Machine first. All for 5 bucks apiece! Then I got the Ambulance and Hearse and Plymouth Police car. Prices for the first two were $5.50, but still worth it. Followed up with the Sox and Martin Cuda, 60 Desoto, 64 Cadillac, 76 Eldorado snap and 68 Chrysler 300. Things were looking good. I remember getting the Boss Man 68 Cadillac convertible, 34 Mercedes roadster and the Turbine car, 64 Dodge S/S, 63 Plymouth Fury and then I got picky. I never bought the 60 police wagon, 60 Plymouth ht or the 62 Darts as I thought they were just too ugly to own. Nor did I acquire the funny car kits, because they weren't my cup of caffeine juice. If I could go back, I'd have bought cases of everything they had, no exceptions. Every subject Johan did was so unique and nobody else even dared to do the same kits. I know, they were a struggling small time company, with the same limited inventory they've had since the 60s, but at least they still had it and they looked good - even for 1980s standards!

Reminds me of an old movie. Hmm, what was it's name?

No Photoshop, Hurricane Ida. It was John Schneider's and here's the proof. https://www.autoevolution.com/news/john-schneiders-general-lee-stunt-car-got-crushed-by-a-tree-in-hurricane-ida-168537.html
