I would kinda like it but I have no idea on their worth.

Maybe a 55 to 57 Hudson would not be such a stretch. The tooling could also be made into the corresponding Ramblers of the day. I'd love a 57 Rebel. One of that year's fastest cars.

Surprising they never really went after Kaiser. I guess him having his own steel mills and factories made it hard for the big three to attack him. He too was just an upstart car maker after the war.

I got some words for ya...BUICK. nail head or the later 300 small block, best darned little rod engine there ever was.

Complete with malformed tail lamps.

When that kit was first offered as a premium with the Borax soap (I think you had to send in a form and a small amount of cash like a quarter) Borax was indeed the sponsor and it was mentioned on the box. Later, those kits were sold by museums in the west as souvenirs. Ronald Reagan was the host of the program. I had one of these kits from Borax and I wish I had it back.

Those aren't sports cars, THarrison. They are modern muscle cars.

The 53 is not accurate for a 32 Ford. Too many head bolts.

I could just see that. A bunch of party girls and a trunk full of the finest Tsing Tao beer

Don't forget EMHAR and their series of late thirties early forties Bedford lorries (trucks). Also the big scale Airfix Bentley Blower was reboxed as an MPC kit.

I thought I could draw stuff. Throwing away my pencils now.

Me too...and BTW, I'm not an ugly lot...wifey said so.

Nice build. I made several of these IMC kits when I was a kid so I could have all the year options in both convertible and coupe. I now have a couple in the stash unbuilt. I do want to make a 42 Ford coupe if I could find a 42 grille.

I goofed

Hey! I resemble that remark...well not the stick on portholes anyway. https://scontent-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/1012701_487017404723064_1369341289_n.jpg?oh=b4e25c9238fc046b232eebdf5f4d1774&oe=55DD8103[img/]

Their McLaren was also a pretty decent kit of the eponymous Can-Am racer.

Type of car ridden by rock nars and polinitions.

These are the only pics I have. The car may be redone later as it's started to fall apart. I also have the topless parade car and another one in red plastic that appears to be the same tooling but is packaged by a different company. My model is modified to suit what I found to be more realistic with what little pics there were of this car at the time. The engine was a chrome plated lump that I traded out for a Ford engine out of the Otaki T-Bird kit. The chassis was modified with chassis parts from a 1/20th scale GMC pick up truck from Lindberg to solve the toylike problems of the kit chassis. gaping holes from a previous motorized chassis were filled in.

I built that kit.

Looking at these WEC cars...they all look the same, well, at least the Nissan and the Porsche do. Becomng like F1 maybe? All those cars look alike to me.

I think the Hirohata Merc by Sam Barris was a very beautifully done car.

Yes, I agree that it should stay the way it is. I would obtain another Merc and the custom bits (57 Chevy kit maybe) and build a newer version to set beside it.

Got a AMT 64 Chevy kit in a raffle from the model car club meeting and bought a Charger kit from Lindberg...modern car.

Awe man, the old Foster Pontiac show. I used to DJ that until they got "Elvis"....LOL

There is a nice photo etch kit by Paragrafix that you should definately get to build the Spy car. Also use the engine from AMT parts pack and a 69 Corvair, much more accurate.
