Falcon Ranchero

Kits for Christmas would be real nice but I should build my 1962 Pontiac Catalina before I get any more.

They’re 1:18 scale; pretty big but my photography makes them look smaller

These, as far as i'm aware of, are only avaliable at Costcos. Bought one every year for the past three. They come around October and into christmas time and then they're gone. The '71 Datsun was my first one, then the Charger, and just two months ago, the GTO. They're pretty darn detailed for a Maisto brand, having opening hood, doors, trunk, working steering, and shocks; yes, little springs above all four wheels acting as real suspension. Detail is pretty outstanding, too. Though the cheapness of the brand is evident in certain areas.

Too dang chewy

Discovered them back in 2022. The 1975 Galaxie 500 LTD from South America was basically a '66 And the 1980 Galaxie was also essentially a '60s car. Same style until 1983. 1961 Chevy Trucks were neat 1963's version of the Suburban, the Chevy Amazonia

Mysteriously, the mysterious mystery unfolded.

Really like the '64 Galaxie Wagon and the '60 Impala and also the DeSoto and the '59 Edsel Wagon, but Also the '56 Meteor Rideau; that car's a long way from home as they were Canadian cars.

like that '61 Starliner

do do do, de da da da, is all I want to say to you.

Dodge Hornets also?

Now that's my kinda El Camino; It's a '68, the '69 had a different front bumper

Well that's neat; congrats, man 👍

or pigs

eventually, until then,

Lucky me I never get any of that cr ap on the radio because both my parents vehicles has the same stations: Ozzy's Boneyard, Hair Nation, 80s on 8, Classic Vinyl, Classic Rewind, and The Bridge. Nothing later than 1990, or sooner than 1965, just all the good in between.

oh well then

UPdate the school's actually closed so that's pleasing.

I like the snow but this was overkill. The college is in fact still open though instead of 8:30 it's 9:30 I gotta be there because they have the big parking lot they have to plow. So it was good I have an extra hour to get there. Truck's ready to go now. I have a fish test in class today so that's why i'm going, otherwise id've stayed here.

Wow you guys got some nice displays. 👍

I haven't much of one; I display my latest three builds at a time on my build table; when the next one is built, the kit displayed at the front end gets booted out and put away in the box, and I shift the cars down the line with the newest one bringing up the rear. BUT because my 1958 Thunerbird wouldn't fit back in the box because it was too shallow for the assembled kit, I picked up a case and displayed it on my desk. I can imagine some of you guys got some big glass cases with hundreds of builds. Curious to see what you got goin' on for your builds.

Those were extremely rare; holy smokes. Got my "Monarch Meteor" book and glanced over the Meteor Rancheros; can't remember exact numbers, but I know the '58 was even rarer. As crusty as that '57 looks, it's actually pretty cool because I can imagine it's all original. What a sight.

This is my most pristine die-cast. There was this store called "The Rad Zone" and it was in our local Wellington Square Mall and at that time I was real young but I remembered a shelf displayed with all these beautiful '50s cars but they were always way too expensive and my parents wouldn't have wanted me to be playing with one of those like a toy car. So then when the Wellington Square was renovated the Rad Zone moved downtown and unfortunately most of the cars were gone. But this Buick; was up on a very high shelf under the same display case surrounded by other miscellanious stuff. At this point it was Fall 2020 and so I was old enough to have a display piece car. It was 60 bucks altogether but we got it for a partial trade of CD's and books my dad brought in so it was probably more like 30 or 40 bucks.

Numbers 123456789- there you go

Yo guys I remember this one time back in the early fall of 2020, back when my grandfather still had the veg garden growin', there was a mama deer with two fawns out in the field coming closer, and at that time the apples were ready so I took a seat on the bench and had some apples on the ground like a meter in front of me and the two fawns timidly came up to me and ate the apples within petting distance but I didn't see the mom deer but then I felt something breathing down my neck so I froze 'cause I knew who that was. Then outta the corner of my eye I see my granfather come out the garage a little ways away and I think he said holy sh or something and then my dad pulled in with the truck and they were off. No photos but I remember it well.

but you're impatient
