So stunningly cool! Great job, Fabrizio!

...and I am on here rarely these days. Just got one from Gregg, and he doesn't really know me from anyone. So unless he just jumped back on the Facebook bandwagon, I sense a... "hack" on his Fb ID. He isn't the only name from the hobby I suddenly out of the blue receive a "friend" request from. Anyone else?

The pictures were taken in and around Boston, Massachusetts by Leslie Jones, who was staff photographer at the Boston-Herald Traveler newspaper from 1917 to 1956. Mr. Jones captured everything that happened in the city for five decades and when he died in 1967, his family donated a vast collection of 34,000 prints to the Boston Public Library. They included these fascinating photos of vintage car wrecks from the great motoring boom. Motor cars became affordable to the masses for the first time in the 1920's. By the end of the decade a Model T Ford cost $298, just a fraction of the $1,200 it cost in 1909. Local businessman Byron Harwood and Byron Grover were hurt when their car collided with a bus in Waltham, Mass. in 1921. They were lucky to survive this nasty looking wreck. Their car certainly didn't A truck collideded with a bus and flipped over in south Boston, stopping just before it smashed into a cafeteria storefront Another view of the same accident shows eager children posing with the upturned truck. it also demonstrates how close the vehicles came to nearby buildings.

Is this available yet?

These cars look great with a wire wheel cover w/ three prong spinners. This one has the covers from JoHan '68 Chrysler with parts box spinners. The 3M die cut whitewalls on Prestige issue Corvair tires with sidewall sanded smooth leave a lot to be desired. This is such an old build. Think I could do better now. Or not LoL.

This kit?

Hope someone can do a review here of the kit.

check this auction out.

Totally worth it. Low production count. Master craftsmanship by a known builder. Exclusive model built to detail of a never before offered kit. Out of reach for us commoners? Sure! Why not? A gold like nugget made of unobtainium. Heck, if they were cheap, everyone would have one. -
Sorry, I don't remember the persons name. Honestly, there are few if any lines on it that are true. Looks like they started with the VW Vanagon.

One of these days, I'm going to dig this out of storage, and have a go at it. It needs a lot of work... it's a mess.

Dog Catcher? Trying to look at the bright side, maybe lose the upper half of the body for a vertical windscreen (or none at all), and ditch that pathetic "bone" radiator cap. From there on, just need a dose of creativity. And a few cold ones. Yeah, you need a few of those to make this seem worthwhile.

Ever think about modeling cartoon art ?

I once found a cartoon poking fun at the unreliable Russian MIR Space Station. Using the Edsel kit, It was inspiration... -

Hey, looks real fine! Just a good choice of color.

Ever wondered how to decipher those class designations with all the letters at Bonneville? Here's our guide on what all that alphabet soup means and it is pretty interesting. http://bangshift.com/general-news/event-coverage/land-speed-races/bonneville-speed-week-2014-alphabet-soup-class-designation-letters-mean-anyway/

It just looks right. Good job!

Wow! Nice! I noticed the black wash on the chrome reverse... really makes them "pop"!

When I look at the new Cherokee, I think it looks like a design study for a new Grand Cherokee. As in "Same old vehicle with new nose and tail" Essentially, a GC with a rounded front and squinty headlights.What is the big difference between the two besides appearance? I'm just trying to figure out what justifies building the Cherokee, when they already have the GC. At least on the previous generation Cherokee, I knew the front end had the solid axle. Ditto on the new one?
