That would be the newest reissue which don't include stock wheels, and only has the custom ones. Basically it's the same as their red issue but in Black.

Looks to be carved from the head stone it's self. Tires/bumpers, an Glass all match the stone base that its on. Sort of crude compared to this 1:1 scale Granite grave stone.

The black copy will be a tad easier to find over the pre-decorated Turquoise and white one. Took me quite a few years to get that pre Dec'd Turquoise and white copy. Model round up may have one or the other.

Jim. Look for either one of these two. Most likely to be found on Ebay. As both are stock copies. I also bought and built both of these, and they are in my 57 Chevrolet collection.

Posting about death's of famous people on here is how sometimes I find out that they died. MSM isn't always up to speed on every death. That being said if a post is of something I have no interest in I won't go to that topic. Such as I don't open topics about hot rod's/Custom/bagged models . Why because they don't interest me. Thus I just skip them. As you can do to these death threads/Post.

Remember the good old days ??????????

I was raised out in the country about 5 miles to the nearest small town called Haviland Ohio. Home of the Haviland tile works at that time. They had a larger general store called Fisher's market . It was ran by the Fisher Family until they retired in the early 1980's. They had almost anything even model kits! Penny candy, nickel candy , and regular candy. I remember going there quite often as a child. A 16 oz glass bottle of soda Such as Coca Cola was 15-20 cents and would have enough change to buy a Wayne Candies Maple Bun bar! all for about $.40 cents! The store is long gone along with the Landmark grainer and two gas stations. The Tile mill is now a plastic drainage company, and the biggest manf is custom assymbly. -
Won't happen as it's a Revell kit. Maybe Atlantis has the molds for that??

Working on this conversion of the MPC GMC Deserter kit . The cab/bed are not glued on as there are parts that need to be added to the engine bay. The suspension was cut down to non lifted stock height , and remains a 4X4. The tires/wheels come from a 90's Chevrolet Pickup since Chevrolet was using basically the same wheels as a choice back in '81. The conversion grill is from Iceman Collections , and is awsome indeed. The grill is very well detailed.

I made my Bel air 4-door from the sedan kit that is like the 150 in your photo. It's not a hard conversion to do. Cut and move the door post forward, cover the old door seam , Then scribe in the new front/back door seams. Then add the rear vent window pillar, and outside door handles.

Thanks, I think I have every main color's that Chevrolet had for 1957. One tone wise, two tone wise I know I don't as there were so many two tone color combo's. about 80% of those are the AMT Re-tooled with the opening trunks. There is one resin four door wagon, and three die cast 1/24 Nomads in with those. One Revell Bel-air sedan was converted to a four door sedan. Just have to get a resin copy of the four door Hard top. I also turned one of the AMT re-tooled into a 210 prototype that almost made it to full production that's the Prototype in the photo.

On the Bottom (last shelf of "57 Chevrolet's) the three race cars #6 , #22, #47 all are the early Amt kits (IE Pepper shaker) The brown with silver roof is a monogram, and well the Revell Sedan's are easy to spot due to the door post.
