Cool, huh?

Harry Bradley customized his own Infiniti J30 with weird ribbon graphics, chrome side pipes and a large fin on the trunk lid.

Russ, Augie's last name is Hiscano.

This double kit was reboxed and sold by AMT.

Yer mixing the V6 story with the Buick aluminum V8 story.

Magazine doing a comparison test of high-end, high-performance SUVs on Angeles Forest Highway? Lamborghini Urus, Jaguar something-or-other and a couple of black vehicles I didn't get a good look at, probably a Cayenne and ??? Also later I saw a Sterling sedan (80s Rover/Honda collaboration).

Monday I saw a guy driving a Jaguar XK120 in North Hollywood.

The other day I saw a red 69 Mercury Monterey convertible on a flatbed. Right behind it was a red 67 Coronet convertible. Both in nice shape.

Four.

301 was totally different from other Pontiac V8s. 260 was an Olds engine.

The Museum is located in a small industrial park in Sandy, which is in the south end of the Salt Lake Valley. Museum trustees have been trying for years to get some sort of dedicated building and funding to acquire and support it. There have been pleas for modelers to contribute to the Museum to help support it financially. Most of the funding comes from the pockets of a few donors and the trustees. The latest email sent regarding this year's GSL show describes the seminars to be held and includes the following: "Status Report of the International Model Car Builders’ Museum. In anticipation of the Museum tours the following morning, please gather with others on Friday night to enjoy a presentation of the latest Museum acquisitions, including our recent acquisition of an important collection of models and ephemera from the famed Fisher Body Craftsman's Guild. We’ll also talk about Museum and programs and the need for your help in preserving this unique repository of our hobby’s history. A “contingent matching grant” offer will be unveiled which can lead to us acquiring a permanent building."

The Speed City kit includes the Toronado transaxle, cast in one piece.

Bummer.

Check Scenes Unlimited on eBay. Here's an example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/RESIN-1-25-FINNED-HOLLOW-BRAKE-DRUMS-B10/163491347397?hash=item2610d7fbc5:g:y1QAAOSw8Pda2UtU:rk:12:pf:0

I always thought the 69 full-size Pontiacs were nicely styled. I have a 69 Bonneville hardtop that I built when it first came out. I think it is a really good representation of the car.

This is the one I've always wanted to see in kit form.

I heard from an former inside source that a 69 Chevelle kit was planned and engineered at the same time as the 68.

I just received a 73 Grand Am from RMR Resin. It's a nice replica. Very clean casting.

LOL.

Lambroghini?

That is an American 200S wheel.

Cool. I need some for a couple of projects I have been working on.

Curt, Will you be selling these at NNL West?

Thanks to all who attended, to our generous sponsors, to the Model Car Guys and to Larry Fisher and Kim from The NHRA Motorsports Museum. What a great show. We couldn't do it without you all.
