    Fascinating... it only took Ford 40+ years after that to do a regular production 2dr full size truck based wagon (1978) and then 60+ years to do a 4dr one (1997). Though there were probably some aftermarket ones made from panel deliveries through the '50s.

    Oh well, football season is over..looking forward to the NASCAR, Indy Car, and F1 seasons which are starting soon.

    Neat idea...I've wondered how a '71-73 Mustang fastback roofline would look on a Cougar of those years.

    LoL... I did have an AZ storm once that was strong enough that a table w/ an umbrella that was on my patio end up at the bottom of the pool along w/ a couple chairs..

    That's the custom grille from the kit, I believe. Neat paint detail w/ the water drops.

    54 years ago for the AMT '60, I believe.

    Cool..didn't know those existed. Looks like my usual source has them in stock..

    i probably go to Hobby Depot in Tempe once a month. It's locally owned as far as I know..

    The one near my office in Tempe is in a mall parking lot at the corner of two major 6 lane streets, went there for lunch last week and it was packed...the parking lot seems a bit small for the size of the restaurant--even have a drive through crammed in there...

    Portillo's are good.. one opened near my office in Tempe recently...went there for lunch last week.

    I wonder if the '59 Impala ht will be the same issue from a few years ago that had the period custom parts that are in the current convertible. Or the lowrider version. Or maybe a Foose version?

    Interesting..I have the Pumpin Iron kit in my stash, can't recall if I noticed the difference between the box art and what's inside. One I did notice is the Thunderstruck 4x4 puller truck kit I have has the '79/80 style grille on the box but the '77-78 grille inside.

    Is the Jeep the Askua in this thread... http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=84702

    Cool...looks like they are going to do the van version also..

    Hmmm... 1:20th?

    He should take down his website if he's out of business...what's the point of leaving it up and taking orders if he can't fulfill them? Makes no sense. His 'new stuff' page was last updated over 6 years ago.

    Too bad they didn't correct the windshield...IIRC, the 'Countdown Series' release of the hardtop had the '68 glass also...at some later reissue of the hardtop they corrected the windshield.

    I would assume they will be doing a chrome tree...since they aren't doing the base work truck version w/ black trim. That would be a big oversight not to have chrome plating.
  20. Rob Hall
    They probably wanted to do something different since they had already done the '68 Road Runner..having two very similar 1 year apart RRs probably wouldn't have sold as well...

    Actually, the Prius taxies are quite spacious inside..I've ridden in a couple here and in San Francisco (w/ 4 people + driver inside)..not as cramped as I thought it would be. FWD makes sense for a taxi, as they can have less of a center hump in the floor...

    Exactly...Tamiya doesn't build '50s American subjects. Besides, the recent Revell kits with widely acknowledged accuracy issues I was referring to were the '90 Ford Mustang and '70 Cuda (the Cuda being better than past R-M Cuda efforts, but still w/ multiple accuracy issues).
  23. Rob Hall
    They are neat kits, I'm looking forward to the rumored '48 Chevy coupe that's supposed to be out eventually.
  24. Rob Hall
    Revell US needs to up their game regarding accuracy, given the flawed recent new tool kits they've put out. Revell of Germany, though, I could see potentially producing something w/ this level of accuracy.

    My first battery in my Jeep lasted almost 5 years in Colorado IIRC...in AZ I'm lucky to get 18 months to 2 years out of a battery...the vile nuclear heat here kills 'em.
