There are many things

cattle need emission controls.

I saw a lot like that in AZ, though they often had oxidized paint and sun-damaged plastics.

When I do see 20 yr old vehicles around here (NE Ohio) they are often worn out or rusty. Don’t see that many out and about in good shape.

Ah, conspiracies..

My understanding is 'clean' coal is a marketing myth pushed by Big Coal and the corrupt politicians they own. Nothing new, there have been articles about it for years..for example: https://e360.yale.edu/features/the_myth_of_clean_coal https://cer.org.za/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Myth-of-Clean-Coal-Fact-Sheet_Final_November-2018.pdf https://www.greenamerica.org/fight-dirty-energy/amazon-build-cleaner-cloud/coal-why-it-dirty

No attack, just stating the obvious.

Yeah, riiiighht..if you are such a self-important know it all, then why don't you get a job with one of the automakers rather than hanging out here?

Yeah, that is what I figure it will be... the interesting thing is, Datsun actually had a L'il Hustler trim package in 1:1 back then...MPC kind of misused the name for their street rod truck kit.

Wingdings are preferable to comic sans, though my favorite is Helvetica--even watched the documentary.

That one was just out a couple years ago, though.

Yeah, a lot of armchair experts..it's the usual crowd on here that like to complain and grumble about anything new and different from how things were 50-60 years ago, they seem incapable of seeing anything positive about the modern world or future. Best to just ignore them.

The '29 Ford Woody/truck was reissued just in the last year as an AMT, I'm sure it's the same but now with Coke livery. The Datsun could be the street rod flip nose version, since the stock version was out a few years ago. Last time that Kenworth was out was around 1979, I remember that from the first AMT catalog I got as a kid.

As far as electric home power equipment, I have electric chainsaws, leaf blower, leaf mulcher, screwdrivers, drill and snowblower, all work fine for me. Saw the pics today of the Charger Daytona EV coupe concept, looks great. Hope the production model looks as good. I’m looking forward to seeing how it does. Lots of interesting EVs on the market now, lots more coming…

The gasser one is the 1/24th Monogram tool. 'Badman', etc..

I don't see why not...the '71 kit is derived from the '72 convertible..could swap various parts to make a '72 442 ht or a '71 442 convertible.

Sharp build...my favorite vintage Mustang year, and one of my favorite colors for that year..

One positive thing about the USPS--I'm not really a stamp collector, but their upcoming pony car set really appeals to me, as it includes a '67 Cougar and '69 Mustang. (Inexplicably, no Firebird or Cuda). Got a couple sheets on order. https://store.usps.com/store/product/buy-stamps/pony-cars-stamps-S_482404

Greenlight makes the modern US-market full size Transit in 1/64th and 1/43rd in a variety of liveries, haven't seen a 1/24th one. Haven't seen a Transit Connect in any scale.

It is fascinating how quickly car styling changed back then...in 1967 a 1958 car must have looked ancient. While today a 9 yr old car often looks very similar to a current car.

Because the older guys are always whining about how anything and everything isn't the same as it was in their warm fuzzy memories of 50-60 years ago or whatever point in the past they long for...gets really old...time passes, the only constant is change, this is 2022...not 1972..can't live in the past.

I hate those ugly gray colors...they seem to be everywhere currently...

The 2 headlight grille in round and square light versions would be good to see.

The 4 headlight grille is good, but the 2 headlight grille that’s been used on several releases is pretty inaccurate.

With the grille they can only backdate to about 1979, though. The hood, fenders, taiilight shape differs on the earlier models, along with the dash and other interior details. The easiest change would be to tool up some accurate 80s style grilles.
