MCM Avid Poster

MCM Avid Poster (5/6)

  1. A Monogram Chaparral 2D body looks to have some useful contours. Slice it up, add a windshield from an MPC STP Lotus Indy turbine wedge, lots of sheet styrene and some putty and you might just get there.
  2. Although their numbers have been dropping in recent years, you can still find Dodge Challengers racing, and winning, in the NASCAR Pinty's Series here in Canada, where the Dodges still tend to make up about 1/3 of the field: Riverside-Riverside-300.pdf
  3. "Time After Time" the murder/adventure story about Jack the Ripper and his pursuer H.G. Wells is a movie I can watch, well... time after time.
  4. I believe that's a '58 Buick wheelcover
  5. I suspect the decal at top to the right of "Lakewood" is "Drag Dimensions"
  6. Although I attended many SpeedSport, Motion, Speedorama and Motorama car shows in Toronto over the years, unfortunately I can't say that I recall seeing the car you have described. I will keep it in mind however, so that when I go through my old car show photos I might possibly spot it, and let you know.
  7. Can you post a description of the car you are looking for? I attended hundreds of cruise nights and car shows while living in Toronto from 1959 to 2013 and may know of or have seen the car, especially if it was from the Scarborough area.
  8. I'm not sure if this site has ever been posted here before, but everyone owes it to themselves to check this out if they have never seen it: Richard Spiegelman’s albums | Flickr Well-known Canadian car photographer Richard Spiegelman has assembled a collection of over 155,000 photos of every type of car and truck you might find at a car show: antique, modern, racing, custom, hot rod, concept, foreign, etc., and a little bit of motorcycles, trains, planes and boats, too. There's lots of Canadian Pontiacs, Dodges ("Plodges"), Beaumonts, Acadians, Meteors, Monarchs and Frontenacs as well. Some albums are devoted to one particular show, and others are devoted to one particular kind of car, with photos compiled from many shows. The shows are mostly from Toronto and surrounding areas, but lots of US and some British shows also. They are mostly fairly recent shows, but from all decades back to the 1950's. It's 99% cars and related, but a few other interesting topics, too. Sit back and enjoy. You're gonna be here for a while. P.S. : And if any of you know of a bigger or better car show site, post it here too!
  9. If you're talking about outdoor car shows and cruise nights, this site is simply astounding.... Richard Spiegelman’s albums | Flickr
  10. Slixx made a sheet that covered both the '68 Coronet and Dart racecars. They also did a sheet for the '69 Charger. They are very similar to each other and possibly suitable for '69 Coronet use if you are not too picky. Unfortunately they don't seem to be available from Slixx at this time.
  11. Here's a 1959 Monarch II Sceptre Cruiser, the top-of-the-line product available at Ford dealerships that year. Picture taken at Rockton, Ontario's Jalopy Jam Up, August 2022.
  12. Don't forget you can order model kits from Michael's online. They have a dozen of recent Revell releases on their website right now at $39.99 and with the current 40% off coupon deal that comes to only $23.99 (plus tax??). You can even have them delivered to your local store and pick them up there, avoiding shipping charges. That's like buying kits at an equivalent price of $16.99 US.
