  1. 65 Chevy wagon A late model red mid-engine Ferrari.
  2. One other thing: Scott, the proprietor of Speed City, creates the masters and molds for his products but does not cast them himself. He has had trouble finding reliable, competent casters to help make his products. Giving the OP in this thread a full refund on his order says a lot about Scott's integrity.
  3. Buena Park PD officers used to sit at the exit of Fabulous Fords Forever shows at Knott's Berry Farm and would chase and ticket those who felt the need to show off as they departed. 500 horsepower cars, 50 horsepower drivers.
  4. Jim Keeler worked for Revell in the early 60s. He was involved in the design of many of the kits, and possibly the parts packs, we know and love.
  5. JIM Keeler was in on the original design of these kits, if not the designer himself. He has been a consultant in the packaging and marketing of the Atlantis version of these kits.
  6. There's more profit in the loaded up versions.
  7. I remember that Gregg or one of the editors announced that they were not going to adhere to a "bi-monthly" publishing schedule a few years ago. Each issue would be published when ready and there would be an issue number with no month on the cover.
  8. There is a well-used UP railroad line at the end of my street. I have not noticed any belching of stinky exhaust.
  9. I managed to get a Modelhaus 70 in the last run of orders.
  10. MPC and Accurate Miniatures McLaren Can Am cars.
  11. I have one of his 66 Country Sedans (which BTW cost more than a full-sized one I purchased many years ago). I thought I recalled seeing a 67 he had made. Oh well.

  13. Iso Rivolta, Grifo, Lele. Bizzarrini 5300 GT

  16. The 67-69 Barracuda kits were made by MPC.
  17. I saw a really nice 64 Cadillac Coupe DeVille. It was lowered a bit but otherwise looked original. I was directly behind it. The taillights looked like they were ten feet apart.
  18. 60 Cadillac convertible, Blacked out Rolls-Royce Cullinan and a Ferrari 550 Maranello.
  19. They made the annual kits in 1966 and 67. These kits had a one-piece chassis/floor pan that was held to the body by the (in)famous screws, along with a one-piece interior tub. In the 1990s, AMT tooled up a new 66 Riviera kit. This kit had a separate frame and floor pan, detailed suspension and the interior built up on the floor pan.
  20. A bone stock Nissan 240SX coupe. Very rare these days.
  21. Some people like it, some people don't. Deal with it.
