  1. There was also a 1/25 scale 1949 Plymouth 4 door sedan promotional model made by AMT in acetate plastic of various colors.
  2. I have been wondering about the number "2" stamped between the "TRIM" and "ENGINE" spots on your data plate which doesn't seem to be addressed by the charts above, but I remember reading somewhere about factory built 63 Ford Taxicabs with 2 tone gray/dark gray vinyl interiors and a slightly different version of the 223-6 cylinder engine. Does your car in fact have the red interior as listed or could it be a taxi model?
  3. For all specifications other than build date, see the following: MAKE 6 cylinder 8 cylinder Galaxie 6 4 Monterey 3 1
  4. It might be a long shot now, but as of at least the year 2003, the Ford of Canada Oakville Assembly Plant operated a company archives that was accessible to the public and likely would have had build date information on hand. The archivist at that time was Sandra Notarianni. Try giving the offices of the plant a call.
  5. Looks like a 1960 Huffaker BMC Mk1 Formula Jr.
  6. A similar kit was made by MPC in the 1980's, and may possibly show up as a future reissue:
  7. If you are not determined to scratch-build one yourself you can just look for the model kit once made by MRC:
  8. Perry's Resin once made a stock 1981 Malibu in 1/25 scale, but it would be difficult to find now.
  9. How about these? (click on link to right) : Mooneyes Racing Decals | Custom Hotwheels & Diecast Cars (mycustomhotwheels.com)
  10. The primarily wood Old Timers kits by Hudson Miniatures were 1/16 scale, which was more often described at the time as 3/4 inch to-the-foot scale. The later, all-plastic Lil' Old Timers kits by Hudson Miniatures were 1/32 scale ( 3/8 inch to-the-foot scale ).
  11. Who knew that George Barris "improved" a Pontiac Aztek?
  12. 1. The Twilight Zone 2. Route 66 3. Hawaii 5-0 (original version) 4. The Larry Sanders Show 5. Family Guy
  13. 1. American Graffiti 2. 2001: A Space Odyssey 3. This is Spinal Tap 4. Alien 5. Grand Prix
  14. Not exactly a Town car, but you might consider the 1932 Rolls-Royce Sedanca II coupe made by Pocher in 1/8 scale:
  15. I don't recall these models ever being available as Airfix kits either. I believe this line of Hornby models was based on Scalextric slot car body molds.

  17. The hydrogen peroxide soaking technique for removal of plastic yellowing is often used by promo model and HO slot car collectors, and is often discussed in their Facebook Groups. Most of the time, chrome plating is adversely affected or completely removed. Painted areas are usually safe, but not always. Use at your own risk. It's best to disassemble the model and soak only the solid color and clear plastic bits.
  18. Sorry to say, but don't expect the best quality from this vendor, Bruce and Steve. The seller is infamous decal pirate Jim Heller, operating under his "transgendered" alias "teresawulf". Jim is well-known in model circles for cheap, inkjet copies of other decal makers' work. In this case, the decal you ordered is a de-contented version of Fred Cady's sheet #25 for '69 Camaros. Fred's decal was silk-screened and provided white stripes and backgrounds where needed and silver emblems for the body as shown below. You won't be getting that on your sheet, Bruce, but hopefully what you do get will be usable. (Picture below is from the Mike's Decals website)
  19. Whole lotta shakin' goin' on......

  21. Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away.
