Yeah, I had a new car without a glove box door, but the kicker was a rubber bladder on the floor that you had to "pump" with yourleft foot to wash the windshield. Bought the car based on the color. A beautiful Rose color. 1.6-4 4spd. European Ford Fiesta. We loved that car so much we upgraded to a Biege/choc. fully loaded top of the line GT? maybe ST?. What a wonderful little car that was 40mpg. Had to sell it when we moved to VT in 89. Next to my 73 Trans-Am Super-Duty 455., one of the "cars that got away"

My hobby shop has a number of the 1/32 scale Lindberg kits. They have not moved in many years, so I picked up the 34 Ford 3-window. These were he models of my childhood, multiple piece bodies, no chrome no rubber tires. Very small. Great for pre-teen hands, I suppose. Super-glue should address the multipiece piece body, other techniques learned over the years should help too. Great job on the Packard, the smaller size means more shelve room (and more of the large classic cars)? Thanks for Sharing. I so want to chop the 34...

Absolutely Amazing. Congrats to all.

Never liked the "gun slot" roof line on the new camaro. Your Chevelle proves that good vision and good looking are not mutually exclusive

My wife and I left the green hills of Vermont Sunday at 6:00 am and headed down to Taunton Mass for the Masscar show, arriving at 10:00. The show was great. The addition of military, ship and figure models added a nice touch, though those guys are way too serious. Just a couple of observations: Modelers are the most polite people. Doors were held, people smiled and were generally pleasant. I have difficulty walking due to chronic Lime Disease, so I have become aware of the little pleasantries people can show to each other, when they take the time to notice. Everyone was helpful and genuine. The quality and imagination of the builds were awesome. The auto tables ran the gamit from childish (youth tables) to incredible. As good as the magazine coverage is (sorry Greg) the best of the best have paint jobs that glow and draw your eyes towards them from across the room. Detailing seems to get better each year,and brings a touch of insanity to 1:87 scale fighter planes, OMG. Thank you Masscar, and all involved, we had a great time. We began the day just before sunrise to return with the setting sun, awesome day! Walter O'Brien Thanks to my wife for making it possible. My two favorites were a 32 sedan LSR car waiting on the salt sporting four stromberg 98's, and a black and red metalflake smoothster coupe.http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gi

Hi All, I'm new to the forum, and have been modeling since the mid fifties. No pics yet but I bought a camera for that purpose. I do however have a Corvair story. My first car was a 1962 Corvair convertible. Second car was a 1966 GTO with trips, but that's another story. So my date and I are tooling to the "cinema" when the car fills with a thick black smoke. We bale out and I stand looking at my $600 investment literally going up in smoke when a 4dr Chevelle screeches to a halt and a guy leaps out. He starts screaming "I know what it is, I know what it is" while waving a box wrench in the air. Seems pre-63 Corvairs would cough up their "fan" belt allowing the oil puddled on the cylinders to reach the smoking point. A quick lesson later we were on our way. Only Chevy I ever owned. I still have the wrench. WMOBIE
