Edsel-Dan

I have Several And remember more The Pickup has been Both a Ford, And a Chevy Same body with a Different Grill I have Both versions!!!! I have the Boat-tail Riv,and the 65 era Chevy van One I saw listed was "Station Wagon--Vista Cruise" And Yes, I do hope they bring these back out!!!

Almost All of the MPC Gangbuster kits included Figures Both Lincolns (Pheaton & Convert), Both Chryslers (also Pheaton, & Imperial Convert) too I believe the 32 Chevy lost those for the Hot-Rod parts

I would Love the chance to get the Magazines myself I prefer Old-School But Weight make shipping High Unemployment kills Many a great wish!!!!

I love the Police Cruisers!! I have the 60 Plymouth wagon kit and a FEW of the 68 Fury!!! NOT My MSP though!!! Maryland State Police!!

Yesterday a 64-65 Falcon Ranchero in Heritage Burgandy DARN I want that kit!!!! Too bad all in my price range are in China, Hong Kong or Tokyo!!!!

There is a large empty store her too In fact 2+ in the same shopping Center Olie's would fit in here very well (and be only a little over a Half mile from my house!!!) But 35 miles is Not Impossible to travel We even have Bus service down hjere But $10.oo just to get to the Town Ollie's is in....................... Then a Transfer to at least 1 other bus........................

I would love to add this to the collection I have ALL the first AMT Coca-Cola series but None of the Lindberg!! Nor any of the second AMT series!!

I have the original issue 64 "Fleetside"( tooling design makes it more Cameo) and 2n1 65 Stepside of this tooling The 64 & 66 had the smaller white wall insert tires as in the 59/60 Impala kits The 65, and the Suburban looks to be the same, had the larger BF Goodrich Silvertown's from the 59 Cadillac kits I believe the sidewalls were bare in the 2n1 I have I need to look again, but need to Find the tires as I replaced those with Rubber Firestone Gum Dipped Darlington's (AMT Turnpiker series and some early 60's kit issues!!) I also stretched the frame and went Dually as this build got the Open Road Mini Motorhome body from the Model-King Deluxe Parts Pack kit!!

I have the originals of both, but prefer the solid MPC G70 tire to the larger diameter hollow GT from the kits! They fit the wheel opening better in my eyes Sometimes Bigger is NOT better!!

Remeber though Back when the Daytona & Superbird were Raced, The teams Got Factory Stcck (ie Showroom Ready) cars and added the rollbars etc I do not know if they used Custom Buillt chaasis for them even in the late 70's I believe that came with the Downsizing from 115 inch wheelbase to 110 for the 1981 season I Have seen A Richard Petty Superbird I Do know the Body was NOT altered very much from original Factory Showroom Spec!!! Yes it sat lower, but, Body parts would interchange with a Street version Unlike anything Current, or the Early-Mid 80's at least. Today, even the Brand Specific front clip off a nascar would NOT fit a Factory Showroom Stcck version!!! Give me back the REAL nascar!!!!

I have 2 myself, but Fire service pieces An original TLF 8/18 and an RW-1. I would love the others offered over the years

I would offer to help too But too far away, and NO way to get there LOVE that HLF 20/16 Schlingman. Too bad those German Fire Apparatus kits start at or over $100.oo now!!!! And think I see tail light 'Light-transfer' bars for either 64 Impala or Galaxie original annual kit I have a built Impala convertible needing that and the wires, contacts, etc to add the lights to! See the headlight bars too Oh well. Dreams are Free

I still have most of my original Annual 70--Wish I had the hood though!! Was the grill also re-tooled?? My original has the ring (step-in) shown on the Annual box art above But the First re-issue does not have that detail I can understand the Retro-Deluxe re-issue with a Modified Original box art But Why use the 69 annual box art design on this re-issue??? Would I get another? Yes if I can afford one I would!! I do wish the Police parts were returned to the kit though!!! YES, that was how my original was built!!

They Finally found a way for me to 'Want' that modern Camaro

I wanted that Challenger & matching T-Bird for years (I LOVE Police & other Emergency Vehicles!!!) I Have the Firebird Trans Am And the only complaints I had (and Still have) are 1. that the decal dissolved as soon as it touched the water, (I traced the second Bird decal and painted one on!!) and 2. that the Amber Turn signal lenses were cast in clear RED!! Each tail light was 4+ separate lens pieces The opening doors in that Trans Am fit better than most and do not sag or droop when opened

I wanted this during The Buyer's Choice run, but could NOT find one! And, I have Not seen any as cheap as $20.oo!! Last time I looked...........................................

One thing about those 58 EDSEL Wagon Tail Light Lenses Remember they are Custom Copies and Larger than Stock!!! For an Accurate Stock version, you will need to remove approximately 1/8 inch from the center of the lens I have a Resin Villager wagon and a Kitbash Ranchero in the works and have modified 2 sets of those lenses

This Kit, not seen sine before 1970, has Always had the Missing Engine bay parts, Not Just the Firewall, but Radiator too! Also the tail lights are cast in the Bezels On the body!! Lastly, this has axles more like the Old 58 & 59 Annuals & Promos Very Thick (Approx 1/8 inch) versus the Wire rod axles in the 64 Impala Luckily the ones I have do have Smooth axles and not the Heavy Fluting/gears of the Originals!! Still a nice kit

I have 2 of the Fleetline kit I built Way Back when too!! only got the Wagon body a couple years ago

Darn I have 2 of the M*A*S*H Bell Chopper but None of the other 2 kits from the Series I WANT that Jeep & Swamp with Hawkeye, Hotlips & Radar Figures as well as the Duece & Half with B.J. & Klinger!!

I have the Wagon Body, but need the Interior!! I also Wish More of these would get re-issued!!

I believe Only the Chevelle and Camaro cars were in the series I built both when new!! The High-Roller parts are Identical between the cars too!! (same added trees & tires)

I actually Cancelled Magazine Subscriptions and Book offers from them when they said Sales Tax! I asked for a Maryland address to send Payment, when they said NO office, etc in Md. I said NO Tax, or NO SALE They took that as No Sale only!! My sister refused an Avon purchase due to sales tax!! I just got a CHEAP 63 Ford Pickup kit ($14.oo) for the Hood {Yes I will take Offers on parts I do not Need--Body Damaged!!} NO sales tax!! Seller accepted Postal Money Order!! Sales tax have been Asked for on Mail-Order for Years But You Could sometimes get it waived Not sure Now, But I will Laugh at All Bankrupt companies when Mail-Order Dies as they start charging ALL state taxes! I asked the Right Questions Many times on Mail-Order Why, Which State is requiring tax How Long before the state where the Warehouse is Adds their tax to the Purchaser's home state tax Then The state where the Home office is, then the state where the office Receiving/processing the order, the EVERY state the item travels through to get to you Pretty soon the taxes will not only be More than Shipping, But more than the Item Therefore I REFUSE to pay sales tax on mail-order unless ordered AND Shipped from Maryland Company The Best Question though is What is NATIONAL Sales tax!! When they Pause (Normal) or say None, I tell them That is the Sales tax I pay!!! Refuse, or cancel enough orders, and watch sales tax get Dropped!!

I have a FEW all found at hobby shops I have not yet had the $$ to subscribe I WANT to, but reading about the problems involved, Wonder if it will continue I HOPE it does!!! I would LOVE to find a collection of them somewhere, BUT NO One around here as interested in Models as I am!!!

I have a few like this too 63 And 64Falcon Futura Sprint convertibles needing a Windshield frame Same for a 61 Galaxie Sunliner And others I forget
