Curtis, I haven't seen that georgeous box since 1965 ! You got a keeper there son . Don't get rid of that one . have some fun with it . That kit came with the cycle wheel to make it look as though the Motor Trend boys were testin it . and some kwel phylons and lots of options to of course customize the car with. Ibuilt mine stock and thenpainted it as close to Evening Orchid as I could . That was a lavender with a Black interior . yes , you could have bought such a ride like that in 65. Ed Shaver

matt, I'mm assuming that that fabulous convertable is the Trumeteer model . I must commend you sir , Ive worked on the 1-1 Pontiacs , thi s model is a real piece ! Ed Shaver

Greg, first I know this isn't Primarily Petrolinia @ old gas.com . Still , how bout a section where we "Diner , Drive - In and service station fanatics get a real section ..... not the same ole Put a rusty piece of a model on a wood base an call it a diorama either . I know I'm one of a select minority as when I do a diorama , I'm on that piece to re create an actual place that actually does / did exist . Ed Shaver

Matt, I'm bankrupt just LOOKING at all the fine stuff you're comming up with ! Ed Shaver

Nick, I'm curious . Why would you want a "Small Back Window " cab . They were in reality too small to work with . Thats the main reason you never ever saw them . In 1970, you got the "Big " window regardless. Ed Shaver

I was in San Diego once back in 1973. I remember Balboa park too. I'm real glad to see that the city saw fit to do a transportation meuseuem as the automobile in California is shall we say hand in hand . Thank you for sharing your experences with us . I wish there were more pictures as I bet there were some great sights . Ed Shaver

Robert , if memory servesme correctly, I think they were still running a 19" rim on those trucks until 1936. Ed Shaver

35 Ford with a scratch built soda box and trailer Body was a R & R Vacum cast Sedan delivery made from origional A M T annual . That kit had a shell for the custom version ladders were scratch built and they actually work . The cabinet in the back is made to be a kitchen counter Ed Shaver

Certainly looks like some of the 1-1 trucks I saw at a near by cruise last night ........ nice . Ed Shaver

Mr. Rodgers reminds nme of a couple of ijits that unfournately belong to my Home NAZI ASSOCIATION BOARD. First I have no use for home owners associations either . You'r diorama looks so much more like my world when I still lived in the inner city of Houston . Great work ! Ed Shaver

I always knew that those cars were for the very rich and mabye famous . However , uh thats too rich for my blood ! Thanks for sharing it with us . Ed Shaver

Marcos , if Peter Lombardo sez it's good , it's good ........... Hush up bout fit problems . get yersef a coffee an enjoy life ! Ed Shaver

Steve, I'm always glad to see a piece to make a model a "Mainstream " car . I only wish that the kit makers would do these MINOR pieces to add to the kit in the first plase as the costs in my opinion wouldn't be that expensive . Take for example the Small block hood Replicias and Miniatures does for the 69 Corvette . As much as I like Norman Veber''s work , it certainly wouldn't break the Revell bank to do both hoods !
