MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. Just a lazy way to churn out more variations of old kits... like the Coke licenses. IIRC, the nice 'Retro Deluxe' boxing of the '69 Cougar had some molded in red also.
  2. Probably aiming it at kids (65 yr old ones?) with the flashy Hot Wheels packaging...
  3. The Chevelle doesn't have a vinyl top or posable front wheels, so they are taking a bit of artistic license with the box art...these have all been reissued many times. Looking forward to the '60 Impala wagon, '65 Barracuda, '72 Duster and others.
  4. No, named after the IMSA racing category.
  5. They are electric. Does not appear to be fueling, only parked there
  6. Sad...went there about 15 years ago. Only been to the North Rim a couple of times, I've stayed at El Tovar at the South Rim a couple of times, probably been to the Grand Canyon South Rim a dozen times going back to 1981 when I first visited AZ as a kid (my older sister moved to Phoenix in '80 after getting married after college, I didn't move to Phoenix until 2008 but visited often in the 90s-00s...
  7. Nah, just an '80s Chevy step side that has been lowered and has larger wheels and tires.
  8. Thinking about a late model S550 Shelby GT500 or late model Cadillac CT5 V-series Blackwing.
  9. Never owned a turbocharged or supercharged car, but I have driven modern CUVs with tiny 4cyl turbos--my sister's Chevy Trax and Equinox, both had turbo 4s. Not performance cars, but decent point A to point B economy CUVs. Good gas mileage. A supercharged car may be in my future, though.
  10. Beautiful Cougar..reminds me a lot of my folks' '68...same color inside and out, theirs had a 302 2bbl w/ 3spd manual.. no power steering or power brakes! My Dad bought it in 1974, my Mom drove it a lot into the 80s. I drove it a few times after I got my driver's license. It wasn't driven much had under 100k miles, went to my older brother and then was auctioned off w/ his cars a few years ago after he passed. My Dad also had a '67 Cougar, 289 2bbl, 3spd manual, no power steering or brakes in Lime Frost. Unfortunately, that has been off the road for 40 yrs and has a lot of bondo. MY brother also had a '68 XR-7 in royal maroon w/ white top and white interior w/a. 390 4bbl and auto.
  11. Volvo has offered a 4cyl w/ both a turbocharger and a supercharger in recent years. Kind of an interesting idea.
  12. I did get some discounted dog food & treats (food and treats I normally buy from Amazon). I've noticed other retailers are also doing Prime Day/Prime Week sales of their own--I scored some Mattel Creations Hot Wheels and Matchbox premium die cast deep discounted today.
  13. My neighbor across the street has a sweet '64 Comet convertible, pale yellow w/ black interior. Also has a '53 Ford pickup and a '32 3 window coupe rod.
  14. I've had good luck w/ the Northstar (had an '00 DTS in Arizona) and the 3.6 (had an '06 STS for a few years). My current '19 CT6 has a 3.6 w/ AWD and a 10spd auto, been very reliable. 60k on it now (bought it at 54k last year).
