Many county jurisdictions have allowed the Sheriff and deputies to purchase their own squad and then get reimbursed. This was common in rural southern areas and some places in the midwest. You were liable to see anything body wise and engine wise. I remember Roush prepared Pintos with V8s in a county in Georgia. High Speed Pursuit!!!

I remember that. Luckily my grandfather knew of such things and helped me do it. Showed me how to do it and even dewind and shim my slot car motors.

That's what I'm thinking. I want to build a Beverly sedan but if the front is wrong, i have more fine tuning of the hood area.

I notice while researching a build that some Cords have eight grille bars and others have seven. Are these changes in production or models?

Bumper guards are rather simple shapes. Could be easy enough to scratch build them.

You have to go to Revell folder then scroll down to straight line cars. The Challenger is in that folder. They did not have the Ivo car. Hobbico site I linked to has a pdf of that car.

I own an 80 Seville. That TKM ain't half good, in fact it's no good.

I knew they had some John Deeres and some IHs. Not sure of the model numbers. They were plastic kits, not the die cast.

number three is NEVER an option....not unless you want turmoil in your life.

In more ways then one, I believe

I live in Muskego! The amusement park is long gone and condos occupy it's space. When I was a kid growing up in Milwaukee our Catholic Grade school had a yearly trip to Muskego Beach. Later on it got named Dandelion Park. I knew some Nowickis in the day. I went to Saint Lawrence, Notre Dame and Pulaski High. Back to our original program.

I much prefer my Hemming's titles. Great mags plus Collectible Automobile. Even good ole Hot Rod is only a shell of it's former self. I got a couple of HRs from the early 80s and even then there was more content where you actually learned something. Not anymore. Collectible Automobile also has no ads which is nice plus they put in photos of the styling studies of what could have been of the cars they are featuring. Great modelling ideas there. And speaking of models, they have a section in the mag where they show a list of models or promos that correspond with the actual cars that are being written about.

Awesome find. I was reading Tim Boyd's book on drag racing kits and he said the Logghe Chassis in the Jo-Hans are an accurate representation of the funny car chassis from the 60s. The bodies are just stock bodies.

They are trucks. You might not think so but the manufacturer does and so do state DMV as they sometimes get licensed as trucks. I could have licensed my HHR Panels and my GMC Terrain as trucks in Wisconsin.

Maybe even one of the Shriner hospitals. Ask a Mason or Shriner about that.

I know our model club has a rummage sale day where we bring in kits to sell. Also I understand the issue with the HotWheels cars. Now this makes me in no way an expert on values, but watching years of Antique Road Show programs, I do know that things drop in value. I don't know if this is the case with HotWheels. I do know that model car kits are kinda hot again just based on prices I see at auction sites online. With the exception of most NASCAR models, kits have held value and even increased. I have so much right now I would not even have an idea on what I would need although I am still looking for that Renwal Jordan and Ertl farm tractors to complete my collection. Built or unbuilt. I like your photo idea of boxed groups though.

The interior is looking good.

The Rogue was a dressier model of the Rambler. Some had chrome side trim along the upper belt line. Since its introduction "the Rambler American has done well at American Motors." For its final model year, 1969, the "American" name was dropped as the car was now referred to as the "American Motors Rambler". Continuing the tradition of minimal changes, the models received a new "suspended" accelerator pedal and cable throttle linkage. Additional safety equipment for the 1969 models included front shoulder belts and headrests for both front outboard seating positions and the front parking lights stayed on with the headlights. On the exterior, the center horizontal chrome grille bar was deleted. As a true compact-sized car on a 106 in (2,692 mm) wheelbase, the Rambler station wagon had no domestic competitors, and it offered interior space advantage compared to imported models with its 66 cubic feet (1,869 L) of cargo space.Available only in 440 trim, the wagons came with a roll down rear window with drop-down tailgate, as well as a roof rack. In part to commemorate the impending passing of the Rambler name, American Motors added the Rogue-based SC/Rambler to the line (detailed separately). A total production for the 1969 model year was 96,029.The last U.S.-made Rambler was assembled in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on 30 June, making the production total of 4,204,925 units. After the 1969 model year, a completely redesigned model, the AMC Hornet, replaced the American.

Very nice model. A lot of work to do it carefully. I really like these large kits. One thing does bother me is that the engine detail looks rather toy like in the mustang. Lots of simplified surfaces and corners. I would expect something of this size to reveal more of the actual shape of the water pump, manifolds and heads as those are quite visible.

Redo the 68 annuals with correct bodies and trim.
