Falcon Ranchero

Wow that ‘60 Plymouth custom job sure is interesting. Really wish I had the hardtop. Also neat about the ‘61 Dodge with the ‘61 Plymouth rear. I’ve seen an image of a real ‘61 that is the exact opposite; Plymouth front and Dodge rear.

Almost forgot about this on the way to the car show on Saturday. Did a double take and saw the car I drew in kindergarten is actually real. Luckily it didn't end up at the car show, but I swear, seeing one in person, it's literally the dumbest looking thing on wheels. It's not hip to be as square as that thing.

That looks great; Though I have built my '57 Chrysler already so I'll have to think of another way...

That's totally awesome; I have to admit the '60 Plymouth is my favourite car of all time; about 4 years ago or so I saw a black and white still image online of a 4-door '60 Belvedere from Leave it To Beaver and that was the first time seeing a '60 Plymouth, and I was hooked on the styling and fins, or as Chrysler Corp. liked to refer to them as "Stablizer Fin Designs". Later found photo evidence that my great uncle Jim had a '60 Belvedere 4-door. So ever since then I've been trying to find the Fury hardtop to build my "Dream Car" out of it. But I suppose for now the wagon is close enough.

Switch to Dodge.

That is quite wierd, I didn't know that. But looking at the photo of mine I see that now. Wasn't apparently obvious to me yet. I may have to makeshift inner fenders or something... Or I could just leave it alone. Mine coming in is I believe the 1972 issue "Police Wagon". FB marketplace score that my aunt is going to bring up from southern Ontario in about a week or so. Pretty excited to add it to the collection.

Even though I haven't built one yet, JoHan is my favourite. The types of cars they had available were different than what other model makers had at the time (like a '60 Plymouth model kit, for random example). Also the curiosity I have towards JoHan kits; having not built one yet, I am quite curious as to how they differ from the kit brands I have built, like AMT/MPC or Revell/Monogram. Had a '68 Eldo JoHan kit in my hands at the junk shop once but with a $300 price tag I had to let it go. But it definitely hightened my curiousity of building one. Have a '60 Plymouth wagon on it's way in about a week or so, and it'll be the first JoHan kit, and it's a grail kit of mine too (though the '60 annual hardtop is the holiest of grail kits for me). But I do admit though that I like AMT/MPC. When I first started building, I had a string of Revell/Monogram kits going, and hadn't built an AMT yet. The '77 Coca Cola Ford Econoline Van became my first AMT, which actually almost put me off AMT kits. Whether it was lack of experience or just the way the kit went together (probably the former), I had quite a hard time with it. But I generally liked AMT's seemingly wider variety of kits, so I continued to build AMT as well. Had a great score of a 1965 issue 1959 Lincoln kit, all complete, for $20 this past January, which was awesome; I have to admit the AMT kits I like are basically the ones you can't really get anymore: '62 Galaxie, '65 Thunderbird, '59 Buick, etc... But I like how AMT was also a promo company so you got quick, detailed curbside kits that look extremely nice once built up and detailed, requiring very little effort. Though I do like an engine under the hood as much as the next guy.

It's part of one of the local private collections; he has all pristine GM muscle cars, '69 Olds Cutlass S, '68 Beaumont SD 396, and this '74 Ventura GTO, etc..

Looks great, I built one too.

Got stung by three ground wasps while scything the four wheeler path through the bush at my grandmas house. Overgrown ferns on the path, not really mower accessible, and no weed whacker or clearing saw so I had to do it the old fashioned way. Was almost done before I got stung. Ran back to the house, miraculously because both legs and my left arm were burning. Baking soda really helps the swelling go down though. First time getting stung since I was 5 or 6. That was the first time, and that was only one sting. After that I said never again, yet here I am stung once again.

Very nicely detailed, looks good 👍

Today's sighting of a '56 Dodge Regent.

Another great show. Here's a rare one, a Canadian "Plodge" this '56 Dodge Regent with a Dodge front and a Plymouth rear.

Today's sightings. This '65 New Yorker musta broke down on the way to the car show, as it was there on the way there and back.

1964, the year in which many believe was the birth of the muscle car.

Looks great; a guy in town here has a ‘77 Cougar in the same colour, but witha dark blue vinyl top.

Looks awesome 👍

Oh well, too

Ordered myself a 1970 Mercury full-line brochure. Now I've got a brochure bug happening. But in some cases it's more affordable than Model Cars and easier to store because brochures are flat, not really 3-D like a model car. That being said I'm not going to spend $102 on the '69 Beaumont brochure. Although that would be a totally awesome addition to the collection. Read through my '60 Plymouth brochure this morning, every word, cover to cover. Only makes me want the real car even more. Very informative on features I didn't even know.

all around the

all the Doo-Da-Day

I am going to built it, I was jokin' around. Plan is to do a larger scale version of a '70 Olds 442 Hotwheels from my carefree youth. (interent photo)

Well, it did arrive today. Very pleased.

Yes, I heard about that; that's too bad, it was a great kit the first time I built it. This one I have now, I might have to keep unbuilt and in the packages; who knows, maybe in the next 60 years it'll have Jo-Han kit rarity status LOL. But I'll probably build it.

"Sebsatan" that sounds like the Devil's son.
