Depending upon how well the model came out , I'll put into a diorama or show it by itself . After that, I carefully box them away . Ed Shaver

Curt , you sure you aren't confusing A M T's Van and then Monogram's , now Revell's stuff. I only say that on account of the Monogram Short wheel base that Revell is re-popping has a molded open grille , a accurate for the model dash and at least closer to the truth than A M T's Long wheel base variant with out roof ribs I might add. Either way, you'll wind up filing off the molded wheel flairs on Revell's variant .You;ll wind up adding roof ribs to A M T's and then if you need an accurate dash beyond a 73 on the A M T, uh get to scratch building .............

Very Clean ! Ed Shaver

Decidedly different ! Ed Shaver

How about palmer Plastic's Buick L' Sabre show car .................. ? Ed Shaver

Darin, jus build the whole thing, Plane an all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ed Shaver

WOW, now theres an answer I can deal with !!!!!!! Ed Shaver

It could have been one of the old Monogram 57's . They're identifyable as the roof sits a might tall.The front end of the Revell kit isn't all that accurate and it has opening pieces . Thats one way to tell. Either way, both kits show up on lists semi regularly. I too wish someone would take the time to do an accurate stock replica as no one ever mastered that one .......

Gary, I haven't really thought about color yet , it'll comre to me ............... Ed Shaver

I kind of remember this as a new truck being as the local Dodge dealer had one in Tourquose. I never ever saw any more as the bucket seat option wasn't really considered by most to be a practical thing then. I'm glad Model hause did the model though as this is definenetly a rare bird . Ed Shaver

Maybee I should submit a resume to the folks at A M T ........... Ed Shaver

Now ya done it , another "HOT" button topic ............. Ed Shaver

Respect the V-12 ! Ed Shaver

Mike , who makes the Oldsmobile ? Ed Shaver

Here Ye Here Ye .......................an here come de Judge ...........................Ed Shaver

Cranky, look for me if ya don't mind a long ride up here to Virginia in Febuary. I'm going to show the Twin Chimney - Crown Central station at the I P M S show .......... Ed Shaver

Bill, after carefully reading you're comments , some of the same logic could be applied to some of the "Protected " ones here at M C M ........ Ed Shaver

Actually , I think his views were "DEAD ON " . I wish some of the guilty parties would take heed and tighten up their act ! Ed Shaver

Chepp, ya made it !!!!!!!!!!! Great to have ya here too. Ed Shaver

Jeff, I hope A M T does well to on this re- release as it might spark interest in doing maybe a 59 Mercury or a 64 Pontiac Gran Prix . Ed Shaver

WOwwwwwwwwwww.......................... Ed Shaver

When I was in High school , I had a 59 Chevrolet Biscayne 2dr. When I finially went to college , I graduated to a 61 Corvair , WHAT A FUNN ride too !!!!!!!!!!! Ed Shaver

Billy, having to do door adjustments on both Ford and Chevrolet vans was to me a pain in the neck. Guys would inadvertently buy the "Door extenders" and then they couldn't get the side door to latch. Meanwhile , cause I retailed a lot of stuff, I got to go outside the shop and repair THEIR repairs . In the years I owned Art- Forms design, it was both a blessing and a complete head ache at the same time . Ed Shaver

I'm not aware of Jim Flintstone ever doing interiors for these two. I have the 57 Ford and I guess it's scratch build time . Ed Shaver

It's interesting that the reinforcing ribs couldn't have been included in the "New " van kit . I can see the deletion of the Charicter rib in the side as the 71-77's didn't have this feature . Also, if you have access to the side door on a 1-1 van , there was a difference in the way the indentation was made at the outside door handle . I guess I'll have to see which dash board was used as it too changed in 1974. Ed Shaver
