Seems to be a very fitting subject for JOHAN Models to take on-- an obscure, mostly forgotten vehicle from long ago, cobbled together from refurbished parts which were already outdated. At least people will finally have a use for that AMT '41 Plymouth Coupe they have in their stash. 🙃

Use "Joe's Garage"

🤷‍♀️

This reissue must have sold well...again. That included chopper, tho. 🔥 😁

AMT 1386:

It's good to have options. AMT 1384: Good thing they ditched the overly square Goodyear ZR Gatorback tires.

Just swap out the drop spindles and lift blocks, and boom, back to stock height. 😁 I'm sure someone here would be willing to trade the stock suspension pieces for the lowered pieces. 🤷‍♀️ Original/proposed box artwork:

Not in 1/24 from Monogram. Minicraft has the 1/16 '31 Sedan, but maybe ICM will eventually release a Model A sedan after their Phaeton?:

Thanks for the reminder. 👴 I also have an original issue Chevy Titan 90 which has the same bus mirrors...unless someone before me exchanged the chrome parts. Not sure, I received it without being sealed inside. I think the instruction sheet drawing makes them appear more graceful and well defined than they are in real life, but, they are close.

Is this a match for those wheels? I don't think any other kits (or kit series) used these?:

Ah, I see. Well, might be good that I have the Monogram hood decal, then.

I'm a bit surprised nobody has done this, for the 1/16 MPC '79, too. Yes, there are interior and other differences, but a new nose, headlight buckets, grilles, rear bumper, tail light lenses, and trim and you'd probably satisfy the vast majority of customers. Good to see this one return after a long absence. 🙂

Just noticed these images from March 10, 2023 on the Round2 facebook page:

Yes, it is. 😉 I figured it might be of use, despite the scale difference mentioned, because it doesn't span the full hood width. 🤷‍♀️

Looks like that is going to happen in 2023.

I have this decal sheet remnant from the 1/24 Monogram Black Knight El Camino if you can use it:

This is the only one which comes to mind:

More info/history of this kit: Did a double take when I saw it was last re-issued in 2012. 😮👴

Same here. Makes this news of Roger's passing even sadder. 😔

I think a low-line grille with separate sealed beam headlight lenses would be a fairly good seller once the new AMT OBS Chevy kits arrive.

I believe Mill City Replicas is still active, but the rest are defunct. 🙁
