That explains the crashes...

Model A pickup with a decorated Christmas tree in the bed and pine-ish garlands draped on the fenders and cab.

They both look angry about having to sit out in the snow.

Yesterday I received an unbuilt, complete 1961 Lincoln Continental hardtop kit.

68 Impala 4-door sedan. 66 Buick Electra 2-door hardtop.

69 Catalina. Bonneville would have an "Endura" pad in that recess in the rear bumper.

For every issue of MCM there are "When is issue XXX coming out?", "I got my copy of issue XXX", "I haven't got my copy of issue XXX yet" threads. There is a comment regarding this on the Spotlight board today. I have some faith in MCM. I recently renewed my subscription for two years. Keep up the good work, Gregg and staff!

This reminds me of the circus I saw a few nights ago. While filling my car's fuel tank, several people drove their big ATVs into the gas station, noisy, lots of colorful flashing lights and loud stereos.

There is no "bi-monthly schedule". The powers that be at Model Cars Magazine announced some time back that they would publish new issues when they had enough material to make publishing an issue worthwhile. Note that there is no month/months on the cover, just the issue number.

That would be Steve Saavedra. Cool guy. I haven't seen him for a long time myself.

My car club (Southern California Cougar Club) meets at Chili's in Cypress every month. The place I worked, where I drove the Datsun pickups, was in North Hollywood, in the early 70s.

Resin 63 Falcon Sprint kit from Best Model Car Parts. Thanks, Michael!

One of the vendors at the Spirit of Speed show on Sunday had a bunch of resin 49-50 Ford 4-door bodies for sale.

On Saturday: 1973-ish Datsun 620 pickup, blue, like the ones I used to drive for work, in Cypress, CA Today: F4U Corsair on a trailer, going the other way on I-15 1971-72 Chevy Pickup, barn find on a trailer.

How about that. It looks really cool with three on a side though. But they wouldn't be able to space theme the same as other body styles.

Tim Boyd was there.

I was in San Dimas, CA last night preparing for the Spirit of Speed show. There was a nicely restored early 50s Suburban driving down the street.

A really nice 54 Mercury hardtop on a trailer.

A really nice red second-generation Toyota MR-2

Bumping. Coming up next weekend!

Nice bumpers.

I got this about a year ago. It has not been built. It's on a closet shelf with a MFH Ferrari Lusso and a Ford P68

51-52 (I can't tell which year on these) Chevy Bel Air hardtop, mild lowrider style.

Alfa Montreal
