Appears to be two sets on the trees. Maybe NA and EU versions. The previous 1:1 gen (S550) had different mirrors in the EU and other markets due to regulations IIRC. Could be the same with the S650.

For some reason that box art reminds me of 'King of the Hill'..

Looking forward to the new Mustang, Jimmy, Lambo and C8 convertible.

It was a Cadillac sports car based off the C6 Corvette platform but with a Cadillac Northstar V8. The V series version had a supercharger. The XLR had a slick folding hardtop roof that went into the trunk. Pretty low volume.

Sweet XLR-V on that hauler. I'd love to have one.

I did get a recall notice for the 10spd auto in my Cadillac...taking it in for a software update w/ the next oil change. It is a very smooth transmission.

I remember seeing those in the late 80s..my late older brother was a salesman at the local VW-Mazda dealer in the late 80s-early 90s and he liked them a lot, though he drove an '84 Chevy S-10.

Still miss my Dad, been gone since Christmas 1999, when I was only 29. I wish I had spent more time with him as an adult..I was busy in my 20s away at college and grad school, then 2000 miles away establishing my career...

I love those MPC Pontiacs. I have a few in my stash. The '71 & '72 GP plus the Sweathogs version are in the row behind the front row.

Today was a nice respite from the recent heat and humidity. 72F, sunny and 49% humidity. Did a lot outside in the yard today. Relaxing on the patio…

Johnny Lightning made a nice 1/24th die cast '51 Studebaker coupe also.

Vic's Resins also has a 1/25th partial resin kit (no chassis) of the Continental available through Southern Motorsports Hobbies, I don't have it but do have a couple other Vic's Resins kits..they are a bit on the rough side and require a lot of cleanup (not Modelhaus, etc level). https://stores.smhracing.com/1956-lincoln-mk-ii-1-25/

The interior layout reminds me of the '78 Southwind 28 ft we had--it was our first Class A motorhome my folks had when I was growing up...it replaced a '73 Mobile Traveler 21 ft Class C that had a Dodge Sportsman van cab. The '73 was a 318, the '78 a 440. My folks next motorhome was an '86 Winnebago Chieftain 33ft Class A (same style that was modified in 'Spaceballs').

Wow...just found this thread. I love older Winnebagos. Incredible work.

I've never had the opportunity to drive a car w/ a manual column shift, but as I was learning to drive 40 years ago, I did drive my Dad's '67 and '68 Cougars w/ 3pd manual floor shift...and manual drum brakes, manual steering..quite different experience than the 'modern' (late 70s, mid 80s) vehicles of his I was also driving.

More hot and humid. As I get older, I really don't care for heat over about 80F...esp. when there is humidity. Was 89F w/ about 80% humidity yesterday. But my dual ACs are keeping the house very comfortable at 68F inside.

It would be an extensive conversion kit... engine, body, interior, etc..never seen a standard or police Taurus conversion set.

I got into the hobby as a kid in the late 70s...lots of kits then were reissues of '60s kits. Jo-han was still around, but not easy to find. My 2nd glue kit was a Jo-han. It wasn't until the late 80s that I got several Jo-han kits from the X-el era. My first glue kit was a Revell. My third an AMT 'Countdown Series' reissue. I generally didn't like Revell kits before the late 80s merger w/ Monogram. Only built a few prior to that. I liked Monogram a lot, especially their '80s kits of '60s-70s muscle cars, '80s cars and contemporary NASCAR race cars. I like the AMT and MPC kits (many were reissues) I built, though even as a kid got tired of MPC's molded in color and tinted windows in the 80s. It wasn't until about 1985 as a teenager that I got my first 'foreign' kits with a Tamiya Audi Quattro and an Imai De Tomaso Pantera GTS S. In the late 80s I got more exposure to import kits w/ the Testors Italeri and Fujimi reboxes.

Nice. The one I built was the regular issue, later got the police wagon kit. I have a glue bomb ‘60 Fury ht to restore eventually.

The '60 Plymouth wagon was the first Jo-han kit I ever built, as a kid in 1978. A weird detail about that kit is it doesn't have inner fenders..open the hood and the front tires are visible.

I have builds that I started in the late 80s and early 90s. And ones I built back then that need restored.

I'd like to see the aftermarket make some grilles for the kit...the Revell grille is a bit generic.

Partly sunny, humid and 82F outside..icky sticky with mosquitos. Good weather to stay inside w/ cold AC and do house stuff...

This is supposedly the new box art. Just the same ol', same ol'. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/revell-14568-104-good-buddy--1593772

Just a reissue of the 1981 Honcho 'Dude' issue looks like. https://www.scalemates.com/search.php?fkSECTION[]=All&q=revell+jeep
