Looking forward to the Bronco.. I have the MK reissue from the '00s, but can use a couple more...
-
I don’t have my originals handy to compare, but the convertible (right) seems to have bigger gaps than the ht frame (left)
-
What did you see on the road today?

That reminds me, went past a salvage yard near Geneva, Ohio yesterday that has some oldies out front incl some 70s Lincolns, and there was clean gold Chevette (‘79 I think). -
I think so.
-
They probably could have sold at least a half dozen to people on MCM. I’d get one.
-
Yeah, but Round 2 is probably 90% US or more. So they play to what the boomers want with their reissues. Which is successful for them.
-
They aren't a US company, so they have a global audience they are playing to...and low volume niche subjects seems to be their thing...
-
45 years ago..(issued in '76)..the brass era subjects probably have a very, very small following. I kind of like them, something different from the same ol', same ol'. I have an unbuilt Thomas Flyer, wouldn't mind having the Stutz to go with it.

I used to do that when I lived in Colorado w/ my Jeep, because inevitably storms would come in during the afternoon when I was at work.

A typo and the OP didn't go back and edit it?

Had a nice sunny day yesterday, went for a drive and saw more covered bridges and visited a couple of my favorite beaches up in Ashtabula County (far NE Ohio). Saw this nice rumbly Challenger at one of the bridges...
-
IIRC, MPCs '75 and '76 Road Runners had them.. I don't know if they were reused in other kits later.
-
The Hailibrand wheels are in the 2nd issue of the roadster. For the 2nd issues, they swapped the engine and wheel options between the roadster and coupe.
-
IIRC, because MPC got the Chevy promo contract for ‘68, AMT had only custom versions of some ‘68 Chevy and Pontiac subjects (Impala, Corvette, Camaro and Firebird, I think) and not stock annuals.
-
Got 2 of the new release AMT '64 Cutlass 442 hts in the mail today from Spotlight Hobbies.
-
Neat...something different.
-
Should be the same as the 007 release a while back...maybe new decals?
-
Arrived today in NE Ohio. Nice to see them bagged again.
-
Looking good..neat looking cab...googling turned up this article on Bruce Canepa's car hauler based on a 372.. https://www.thedrive.com/news/33508/you-wont-find-a-greater-car-hauler-than-this-aero-bodied-canepa-peterbilt

Ha…I remember noticing parking spaces that seemed smaller than normal in parts of San Diego when I used to go there when I lived in Phoenix. My DTS was a tight fit in some places, as was a rental Yukon I had one weekend. I used to drive over several times a year, usually to Pacific Beach…
-
Just the way it is. Thick pillars and small windows for better crash structure and roll over protection, I assume.
-
The view from the camera is better than looking back w/ the huge pillars and small side and rear windows.
-
My '14 Jeep has a back up camera and proximity sensors on the rear bumper, pretty convenient in backing out...I think blind spot alert/cross traffic warning are options on the newer ones.
-
The Z06 convertible looks great in that dark red w/ tan interior...would love to see a model of it (though I'm sure there will be plenty of diecast eventually). I played around with Chevy's 'virtualizer' tool and came up with the spec I like--in Caffeine w/ natural (tan) leather interior, no carbon fiber trim, and bronze wheels..sweeet...

The 2021 would make no sense, as the 2021 season is almost over and a new car is coming for 2022.
