Falcon Ranchero

Cool stuff, i really like that '60 Custom Ford; I too have the Thunderbird bubble top and I was actually thinking about using it on a customizing 1961 Ford but it never happened. I was a little unsure of how to make that work, but you did an excellent job on yours there.

Yeah I noticed that one too; there's also a '70 Coronet, a couple of '70 Mustangs, a '70 El Camino, and a '70 Ranchero. Basically muscle cars but remember, none of those cars in the photo run on gas. Doin' that to a muscle car today would be a crime

That's a cool commercial; and if you really want to dance, the Plymouth ads, 1960, 1961, and '64 Valiant are pretty groovy. They're at the very top of the topic if you're interested.

would see that

it's still kinda

That's pretty slick; I just recently built a stock sleeper version. Your drag car is super awesome.

This build was inspired by the first classic car we went to look at back in May 2022. It was a 1966 Thunderbird that had been sitting since '93. It was baby blue with a white top, but it was a little crusty. Had a black interior and 1972 hubcaps. Also had the regular roof as opposed to the Town coupe. The car ran but made clanking noises. It was a restoration project, but we really didn't have any space for such an endeavour, so this model is a showcase of what I would've done to the real car, had we purchased it.

Recently found the actual very first kit I put together, Revell's Snap Tite 1957 Chevy Bel Air. 10 years ago I put it together just like it was depicted on the box, no trim painting, no grill black wash, applied the decals, never cut the burrs off of some pieces, and it looked kinda dumb. BUT, as 2024 came to a close I figured I'll re-build it, and so I used all the skills I learned building kits and gave it a two-tone treatment, as well as detailing everything. Changed the wheels to the ones my 1960 Impala came with, which proved problematic, but they're good now. Re-completed January 1st, 2025.

and sasquatch encounters

Or These It's funny because if you watched Herbie the Love Bug, Ralph's Hot Rod shows up in the Mexican Road Race scene. That was in 1968.

Can't forget these

Those buck teeth are pretty nasty

Really like the GMC, the Buick, the Challenger, as well as the bronze Cougar and the 4x4 Ford and the crusty Ford truck on the trailer.

That 1960 Plymouth Coronado stretch Limousine is by far the coolest model I've seen on the forum wow. Totally awesome work that's so cool man 👍👍

What if I told you all these cars in the photo didn’t run on gasoline. Not one. These cars either run on electricity, steam, and other forms of energy. I guess in 1970 200 entrepreneuring students were involved in some sort of alternative fuel challenge so these cars were used as experimental vehicles to pilot new fuel ideas. Not much info I could find online, this photo came from a picture book I just got. Would be cool to know what some of the vehicles run on and the groups that made them.

That is a work of art, way cool 👍

That ‘67 GTO is gorgeous

Oh yes I love that movie; I have it on dvd, lotsa nice cars doin’ crazy things

alike, that's the

I gotta get my hands one one of those; I did build the Surf Shark '59, but I like the regular car one better. Yours is totally awesome, love the colour and detail. Quick question was there a hardtop model too or just the conviertible?

This year's all 12 of mine were bought and built in the order I bought them. No stashed kits anymore; built them all 3 years ago.

The Humbler GTO one is legendary 1970 Pontiac GTO Humbler - Commercial - LONG VERSION!!!!!

would even become

This one's actually really good too
