Some are, and some arn't. Depends on if the subject is modified kit part or an orignal sculpt.

But GM wasn't competing against itself back then, buyers "steped up" from a lesser make as they could afford it. Chevy was a small 6 cyl. car, Pontiac was a longer wheelbase car with an available 8, and so on.

I'm sure all three sold in disapointing numbers because there were three on the shelf.

Pontiac, Oldsmobile and Saturn are gone because they were redundant. GM's orignal idea of moving up from one make to the next in asending order as you became more afluent was replaced by 6 makes building badge enginered versions of the same cars. For many years Pontiacs were nothing but Chevys with stuck on plastic body clading and red dash lights. Oldsmobiles were very little differant from Buicks. GM was competing with itself.

The average American has to haul the kids and such and requires the seats to do so. I'd love to have a Mustang, but I need an Equnox.

That is my finding.

Indianapolis cars say "To Serve and Protect Fellow Officers"

Very Nice! Is the resin roof a one off or a normal sale item? I'd like to do a 59 Cat 4 dr sedan.

The only police sars that would interest me are the 74 Dodge Monaco so I could build the Bluesmobile, and a late 70's Nova (I just always thought that they were interesting cars). I would want the unmarked Concours version. Four door Z/28. Might go for a mid 80's Crown Vic to convert into a wagon. Family truckster!

Only if someones give-a-darn is working.

A coat of spray can "self etching" primer (in that muddy green color) followed by regular primer seems to work best for me.

Because the world sees models as toys not to be taken too serously.

Thats what I was thinking.It aught to improve Dodge Challenger sales.

The old AMT 63 Corvette was updated each year to the next model. When the split window madness started back in the 70's AMT backdated it (sort of ) to a 63. It still had a 67 roof (althoe with the split window) and center back up light of the 67 for a few issues before it was finaly corrected. I don't know where the Prestage kit fits into that. I'm building a 63 Corvette coupe at the moment, I'm using a Revell snap kit 63 with a Revell 67 chassis and a small block yet to be determined.

I hope to, depends on if the weather is nice enough to ride my Harley. I wont trust my car (Hyundai Elantra) to go that far from home. It likes to make me walk.

Still, I've seen your stuff at the Indy show and it's good quality.

OOPS ! I guess I'm sorta confused with the Detroit Resin group thing!

The best 70 Chevelle body is the 1/25 Revell snap kit. Add a full detail chassis from the Revell 72 Cutlass and a big block from the Revell 69 Camaro and you'll have a nice model.

Another happy camper here, I have the 65 Mustang fastback and the 70 Mach one, both are great. I wish I'd bought a 65 GTO when they were out.

My old 55 Chevy had tinted glass all around, but it was more green than blue. Love the wagon.

Another vote for the Blues Brothers.

I'm no good t posting pics, but google "Pintara"' a kit to make your Pinto into a Pantara, and yes, it was kitted in 1/25.

Admerial Byrd found the hole in the Ozone, back in the mid thirtys.

A friend of mine used to live in Kall-i-forina, and solved the problem by driving pre 1967 cars.

Thats not a V6, early Olds Rocket V8's had the center exhaust ports ran together, that center pipe is two cylinders, like a flathead Ford or early Cadillac V8. That engine can be found in the new Revell 50 Olds kit.
