    There have been both small window and large window variants, but I cannot seem to find what boxing the large window version was in. I have seen builtups, but no boxes. My red truck box I got in a trade years ago has the large window cab, but the window in the kit is the small window. Anyone know what box/issue is the large window?

    That's Testor's Extreme Lacquer rattle can. I think they called it something like "gold metalflake" but it looks just like Inca gold. I really like that paint but the cans really suck. Very difficult to push the valve down with my arthritic fingers. Had to use two hands. The blue deuce is just OOB but I probably opened up the front cross member a bit. Ray, Rusty, Larry, and Bill, thanks for the comments!

     

    Get one of those snap on handles , from hardware store makes painting alot easier.

    A few more details: The Chrysler 300 grille was marked as a '62 on the package, but it's really a '61 due to the "CHRYSLER" lettering on the top - that was '61-only. Good to know if you want to convert a Jo-Han '61 New Yorker to a 300 - although I recall it being a little larger than the Jo-Han grille.

    The '57 Buick grille is different from the one in the old '57 Chevy kit; the parts pack one is wider and more curved - possibly Super/Roadmaster.

    The '60 Mercury grille has separate inner headlights like the custom piece in the '59 El Camino kit, but the lenses are molded in. (Anyone have both on hand to compare length?) 

    length on the merc grille is the same the el camino grille is a bit smaller(narrower) looks like the two did not come out of the same mould. looking at the back side.
