  1. Model year 1975.
  2. I would like to see a kit of an Escalade ESV, but the current 2015+ version, though, not one from over a decade ago..
  3. Doubt it, just an error in the illustration.
  4. I always mixed up the ESV and EXT (the Avalanche style version). I'm more familiar w/ modern Cadillac sedans, have had an '00 DTS and 2 STSes ('06, '11) in my family..
  5. Yes, the ESV..they still have one in the current generation.
  6. It comes with a trailer? Nice.. I have one on order to go w/ the few other boats I have.
  7. Yeah, noticed that...new Revell, old Revell... Box art goofs are nothing new to them.
  8. Got my '88-91 Crown Vic resin kit from Master Caster (Greg Wann) today in the mail...very nice at first glance.
  9. That white Ford truck reminds me of Clint's truck in Gran Torino.
  10. Way cool..never seen one of those kits built.
  11. Yes, I didn't bring up the AMT 442, El Camino, or '70 Monte Carlo since the thread was about a Revell kit.
  12. I PMed Greg Feb 3rd, so hopefully I'm on the list.
  13. The Revell '65 fastback and convertible get reissued frequently. The AMT '67 fastback is quite good and was reissued a few years ago.
  14. The 2nd from Revell, they did the 72 Cutlass a few years ago.
  15. Maybe it will fit w/ the tailgate down.
  16. Something different, the Heller Massey-Ferguson 2680 tractor.
  17. I have that trailer w/ one of my Buick wagons. Don't have the engine hoist. IIRC, one or more of the MPC '68-69 Coronets also had a uHaul style trailer. None of mine have it.
  18. I'm not really into aftermarket accessories w/ my Jeep (beyond Weathertech floor mats), but the Grand Cherokees do have a lot of complex electronics..my old '00 WJ GC had a lot, but is like a Model A compared to my current WK2 generation GC. I know as my old one aged (after 10 years and 100 miles) I had a lot of issues w/ sensors and interior electronics, but I still got 170k miles out of it. Over the last decade, Jeep has had an interesting mix of parts and platforms co-developed w/ Mitsubishi (Patriot and first gen Compass), Fiat (Renegade, 2nd gen Compass, current Cherokee), and Daimler (current WK2 Grand Cherokee---has a platform shared w/ the current Mercedes Benz GLE SUV).
  19. My current Grand Cherokee has been fine so far, but my old one had a lot of electrical issues as it aged.
  20. That seemed to work for me..go figure.
  21. Got my tickets..looking forward to seeing it on a big screen...my local Cinemark is showing it, they have the big recliners. Should be fun.
  22. I was born in ‘70, so growing up I became very familiar w identifying 60s through 80s cars without looking at the badge. In the 80s visual model year changes largely went away, so it’s hard to tell the exact year of a vehicle made since the 80s. But I can still identify most every vehicle I see and the generation/year range (since most vehicles today have a 4-8 yr cycle with an MCE or two in between). I like to keep up, enjoy the annual new release issues of Car & Driver and Automobile.
  23. That's what I've heard from friends w/ VWs...I know from my own experience w/ BMWs and Mercedes that German cars can be expensive to maintain.. Jeeps can be that way also, but I'm used to it..
