    Looks like it does.

    Sharp car..I always liked the CTS coupe... my '19 CT6 I bought last month is similarly loaded with goodies.. 360 degree cameras, adaptive cruise control, sensors all around, self-parking (haven't tried that), panoramic sunroof, automatic headlights, wipers, and HVAC...AWD w/ a 3.6 V6, 10 spd auto and 44k miles. New enough to have Apple Car Play, wireless phone charging, etc. Taking it on a weeklong road trip later this month down to the NC and SC coasts and back..

    Those look similar to wheels in some releases of the AMT '66 Mustang ht (70s-80s releases--Countdown Series and Barris)--not sure if the more recent issues have them...those were chromed, would need painted to look that way of course. The Tamiya Jeep Wrangler hardtop kit has something similar but of a much flatter design.

    Got this restorable ‘58 Bonneville off eBay. Seems complete except for wheel covers. And the steering wheel is broken.

    Got totality here outside Cleveland. Took a few pics, more interesting were the shadows and light on the yard. Got dark enough for my outside lights to come on.

    Night bulb will soon be blocking day bulb...been listening to music sort of related to that theme today--Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon' album, Audioslave's 'Shadow on the Sun', U2's 'Staring at the Sun' and the Beatles 'Here Comes the Sun'.... a little cloudy but should still be good here in NE Ohio..taking the afternoon off, got my shades..

    Ohio is pretty gloomy and gray in the winter also, though though February this year was sunnier than normal. It took some effort to adjust to it again when I moved back in 2017 after 20 years living in very sunny places (Colorado and Arizona).

    Beautiful sunny day today, took scenic drives in my Jeep, Mustang and Cadillac.. found a really good Vietnamese restaurant nearby for lunch. Spent a lot of time in the sun in the backyard w/ the dogs. worked a bit in the garage tidying up and working to make room for two cars (still have a lot of boxes from moving last year). Then spent a while this afternoon in the hot tub..sky is beautiful today. May watch the eclipse from the hot tub, supposed to have totality here around 3:15 est tomorrow.

    I've seen the famed Cutlass in Chicago traffic probably 25 years ago...

    Beautiful Spring day, took my Mustang for a spin. Saw 3 clean ‘80s-90s Corvettes out for Sunday drives also. Took advantage of the weather to take pics of my vehicles in my driveway. Later took the Caddy out for lunch and drove the beautiful Chagrin River Road Saw several more nice Corvettes and Porsches of various vintages (incl. an '80s 911 wide body w/ whale tail in a bright green), and a gorgeous black Caddy XLR-V rolling top down.

    Reissuing it as a regular ‘67 Impala 4dr ht would need just some wheel covers and a correct bench seat, with some existing redline tires. Not sure how well that would sell, pretty niche. I’ve got the parts to do one like that, and a phantom 4dr SS parts w/ parts from a coupe kit.

    I remember the Browns moving to Baltimore to become the Ravens in the 90s and the current Browns starting up a few years later.

    The roofline shape is different on a 4dr sedan...fixed B-pillar, more vertical C-pillar, slightly higher roof, different rear window shape, side window door frames...to do a sedan would require a new body tooling. I am surprised we haven't seen a resin or 3d printed '67 Biscayne/Bel Air/Impala 4dr sedan conversion, would be popular w/ the police car builders.

    I remember staying there for a weekend around 20 years ago when I saw The Rolling Stones at the MGM Grand. Was a neat old hotel.

    As far as April releases, looking forward to the Dodge Coronet R/T ht and Charger police car that are coming into stock now..

    Mail call today. My first of these. It’s in a bigger than normal box..

    Got the stock XY and XW kits in the mail today. Love the Australian kits.

    I think I drove over that bridge in 1997 when I was in Baltimore for a conference.... I remember also taking a dinner cruise as part of the conference and going out in the harbor and under bridges. Only time I've ever been to Baltimore.

    I get only two magazines in print--- Model Cars Magazine and Collectible Automobile. I still read Car and Driver, Road & Track, Motor Trend and Top Gear in digital form through a Kindle Unlimited subscription on the Amazon Kindle App on my iPad or iPhone.

    I had forgotten about the custom '60...I only have a couple of the stock ones. Nice to see the FlareSide back.
  21. Rob Hall
    They didn’t own them, but had several joint ventures that lead to rebadged Mitsubishis sold as Chrysler products. Think Plymouth Arrow, Dodge Colt, Dodge Ram 50, 2nd gen Dodge Challenger and Plymouth Sapporo, Conquest, etc. The relationship lasted a long time.

    Got a pic of my Jeep, Mustang and Caddy together. Hopefully have my other Mustang back on the road this year.

    Those look great..didn't realize the Falcon kits were out yet.. I have a couple of the Holden kits.. I'll have to find a place that ships to the US.
  24. Rob Hall
    Is that a Lola T-70? I think there was an AMT slot-car based kit of one in the 60s.

    Picked this up today. A very clean low mileage Cadillac CT6. Looking forward to my vacation road trip in it next month.
