This is info I got from a web site called Uptown Automotive Hobby Shop. 1988 Buick, 1/24 scale, Regal and Reatta coupe by Product Dynamics Ltd., a company in Pennsylvania, which, prior to these Buicks I had not heard of, either in relation to promotional scale model cars, nor anything else for that matter. Neither the models, nor their colorful packages, mention the name of the company that made them, so they were somewhat of a mystery, or at least a curiosity, when they were released. I don't recall seeing or hearing any advance press on these models before they appeared. I will say that they were welcome surprises in the era of only Camaro and Corvette promotional models being made. The packages do not label the models as a specific year, and though they are most commonly considered 1988s, they are often listed as 1988 or 1989. The Regal is molded in a maroon metallic, with black A and B pillars, and a red interior, while the Reatta is a solid red, with a tan interior. (The regal pictured here has been repainted).

Hahahahahahaha

And if the Knights Templar were involved...............................

Maybe we could interest the Lagina Brothers into searching for the lost JoHan molds.

About a five minute search on Google.

I found the makers of these. Established in 1976, Product Dynamics Ltd is a full-service product development and design company. Based in Levittown, Pa., it is one of the leading companies in the design and fabrication of precision prototype models in the United States. The company provides various services, such as rapid protyping, tooling patterns, breadboards, mechanism development, vacuum forming and custom color matching, to name a few. Its portfolio of clients includes Rubbermaid, InsyncDesign, Tyco, Exoto Inc., Mattel and Gerber, among others. So, maybe they still have the tooling. Round 2? Atlantis? You guys looking to buy more tooling? LOL

I just got this one last month at an estate sale for Gary Schmidt.

Why?

Makes sense now...couldn't figure that out.

"They considered it I black eve"....what does this even mean?

Don't know about leaning that sled on the truck.

Darn. None in Wisconsin

Thanks. Those are so cool and difficult to find. Especially the Charger in that series. I have that and the Nova. Need the Trans Am and the 82 Camaro.

9, 10, and 11 interest me. Route 32 1/32 scale kits. 82 Camaro, 71 Firebird and 69 Nova. Are these the old Monogram kits?

So you live near Lake Michigan?

I work in a factory. On my inspection table, there are model kits waiting to be built and also on my production table.

Seems nicely molded.

MPC repackaged the Airfix line of 1/32 kits. Some CanAm cars and some vintage type cars like a Rolls and a Daracq.

That was a dude who made his name with his band. Plus when he was younger, he looked better.

The fresh ones suck too.

I saw it. That was a bad movie. But my top bad movie in all time was Zardoz, starring Sean Connery. Best line in the entire movie was "The gun is good; the penis is evil"

Oh I don't know. Elle King and Lizzo for instance. Not beauties by any means and Elle King has talent.

She's my hall pass.

Janis didn't appeal to those who expected the standard white girl pop sound. She was from Texas and had a unique voice harkening to past black lady blues singers with a rock backing. That was the appeal. She was different than others in that time. People were experimenting with the sound and mixing musical genres. Look at Clairy Browne And The Bangin' Rackettes from Australia. Looks and sounds almost like Amy Winehouse (but not so rail thin) but had a soul type of delivery. Her song "Love Letter" is awesome.
