Growing up in the 70's, I built dozens of models. Among all those kits, there are a few that stand out in my memory a couple of which I was able to acquire and build.
The first is AMT's 32 Vicky. I was lucky enough to find the same version that I had back in the day.
As a teenager all those years ago, I would have built the hot-rod version. Recently, my more "mature" tastes prompted me to build the stock version.
Among the few bits that I remember about this kit, that gawd-awful spare wheel assembly stands out. I believe that I left it off when I built it the first time around. On this build, I raided my parts box and mad a suitable replacement.
One of my other nostalgia builds is the 53 Studebaker. Originally built around the same time period as the Vicky, this is one of the ones that I do remember completing. I so proud of the way it turned out that I actually entered it into contest. The only thing I won at that contest was a revised sense of my skill level.
