That car gave my entire adult life some sort of constant. That, and the same music they play, when it is starting races. I have no idea what the mileage is now, but in all those 38 odd years, I have seen it breaking down only once, when a fanbelt snapped.

It's not the first issue that comes with two metal axles. You can either build it with those two axles, or optionally with poseable front wheels using the plastic pins.

Mr. Friedlinghaus does suffer from a form of dwarfism. This didn't keep him away to build a multi-million company from a $5,000 loan.

That car is still being used today. It's also the reason why I would buy at least two kits.

Oof!

Oh, good old Maxwell Street Polish, mmmmmh!

I think even the daftest dimwit knows what I mean with free postage, thank you. Ebayers padding their sales by overcharging on international postage is sadly common practice. Berlieve it or not, I am able to navigate the USPS website to find out the actual tariff, plus I know what my sister pays. Had I asked the seller of the '62 Galaxie to send it to me, I would have paid for domestic postage (wrapped up in the price) plus $26 international postage, according to his quote. The actual international postage was $11.80.

How difficult would it be to make one from the Moebius kit? For example, if MCG decided to furnish photoetchery for the Belvedere scripts?

I buy them in the US and have them sent to my sister, who is living over there. Postage inside the USA is often free. She then sends them on to me for the actual fee she pays, without padding her Ebay sales results by overcharging for postage. She also marks the parcels as gifts, so no customs charges.

Where the heck are those bloody '59 Chevy parts I promised Matija? Them bleedin' Borrowers again!

Coincidently with a '62 Gal... And a lovely one at that.

I know. I'd buy one even if it cost 100 $.

Thanks! Seeing that I finally got one now, I'm sure they'll reissue it soon.

Yeah, ace, no painting required. Do I still need glue to build it?

US Army surplus Jeeps and even ex-Wehrmacht VW Kübelwagen and Schwimmwagen were very popular among farmers in mountainous areas in Austria. Many of them were still used as ordinary workhorses well into the 1970s. Because of the harsh Winters, they often were modified with solid tops, doors, and side windows by local garages. Especially the Jeeps were often converted to Perkins, or even Mercedes diesel engines. I knew a farmer who had a Studebaker Weasel for reaching his outlying lands up the mountains in Winter. It was fitted with a winch, which served as a makeshift ski lift for us kids. He would park the Weasel at the top of a slope, someone had to bring the cable down, we would all hold on and he would winch us up the slope. Each turn, someone else had bring the cable back down with him. We had a lot of fun this way after school. I think it was fitted with a Hanomag diesel. Even after proper ski lifts had been built, many operators still used ex-WW2 vehicles to service them. Also, CJ Jeeps and many other models were built under license in Austria by Steyr Puch from right after the war. This included the FC-150 cab forwards and even the big Wagoneers, which were often used as hotel taxis in posh ski resorts. Here, have an Austrian built FC used by the Fischbach voluntary fire brigade:
