  1. I've seen the famed Cutlass in Chicago traffic probably 25 years ago...
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. I remember the Browns moving to Baltimore to become the Ravens in the 90s and the current Browns starting up a few years later.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. As far as April releases, looking forward to the Dodge Coronet R/T ht and Charger police car that are coming into stock now..
  8. Mail call today. My first of these. It’s in a bigger than normal box..
  9. Got the stock XY and XW kits in the mail today. Love the Australian kits.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. I had forgotten about the custom '60...I only have a couple of the stock ones. Nice to see the FlareSide back.
  13. 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.
  14. Got a pic of my Jeep, Mustang and Caddy together. Hopefully have my other Mustang back on the road this year.
  15. 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.
  16. Is that a Lola T-70? I think there was an AMT slot-car based kit of one in the 60s.
  17. Picked this up today. A very clean low mileage Cadillac CT6. Looking forward to my vacation road trip in it next month.
  18. Reissue of a kit that dates to 2001. Nice kit.
  19. It's too bad they didn't have the retro door creases like the last Charger...
  20. Extinction is in humanity's future, perhaps sooner than expected.
  21. Here we are now.
  22. Day bulb is bright today.
  23. Difficult days and rising to the challenge to overcome obstacles can make the relaxed days sweeter.
  24. I saw a Cybertruck on Sunday at the Cleveland Auto Show..it's bigger in person than it looks in photos..very...distinctive.. reminds me of sketches I made as a kid, all sharp angles.
  25. Sharp build. I built the Monogram Miami Vice one as a kid in the 80s. Have the convertible kit also. Never built the Tamiya kit. I saw a sharp Testarossa at a car show this past weekend.
