I know that they had 26 Chargers for the Show, but I never paid any attention to look when they had the hood opened, if they had inner fenders on the real car, does anyone know for sure? mickey1938

Welcome Fred, The Dodge is looking pretty good so far, keep up the good work! mickey1938

1955, I believe all American Automobiles had to have them, in 1956 I put a After Market set of Distress Signals on my Ford! mickey1938

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, I don't come back here to much, I just happened upon this item, and took a chance, and I see that were very close to each other, I drove the Pace Car at Illiana Speedway for 18 years! Now I'm a sit at home type of a guy. mickey1938

I'd park my Hot Rod there in a minute, very Nice!! mickey1938

Doc, I too am in love with the old fifty type cars, the Merc's, Lincoln's, but I also like the Old Fast Back's from the 40's, the 1948 Buick Roadmaster was my Dream Car! I'm watching You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mickey1938

I'm back again, with just a few more words, Modeling in Minature is a Awesome thing to me, having seen it from come from Wood into plastic, and no extras at that time, I'd save my pennies to be able to get a 59 cent model, once a month, then plastic got bigger and bigger, Planes Boat , Tanks, etc. as the years past they became better each year, then the Semi Trucks came into the picture in the 60's, and different Scales were born, AMT was on top back then Revell a close second, Jo-Han came aboard, and blew everybody out of the Water, they were perfect in everyway. So now were here in 2012, the same 60's cars are still being made, of course at a much higher cost, I should say a much much higher cost, and with little retooling being done, it doesn't make sence to me. Today, there's items like Resin, Wires, all sorts of things to make a outstanding build, Spray Paint, Air Brushng, again ETC. The Gentleman who spoke up about owning a Hobby Shop, mentioned RC Models, I too was into that, I raced everything except for Planes, Kits were almost $100.00 complete with Radios, I raced 1/10 scale Trucks with the NR/CTPA for years my truck cost me $150.00 for a Hand made Chassis for the Clod Buster, today your looking at $1200.00, so you see I had those good old days. Today, the Scatch Builder is the will never give up this Hobby, Chuck Most is in for the long Haul, he does wonders with his builds, he turns a kit around a full 360, and I enjoy his humor, But kids today, have way to many things to do, they have to be doing things all the time not just sitting around with a model, we've come from enjoying a sit on the front pourch to going to the Malls, Facebook, I Pads Cell Phones, Costs of making new Models is awful, yet it takes one person to take measurements another to put them into a computer, another to make them 3D and then into a Machine that costs who know what, then the model is poured and there's the cost out the window. I have to hand it to the Resin Designers, they do wonders for our hobby, and most are very reasonable, some well, their high, there again the cost of materials drives prices up!. Automobiles used to cost $ 2000.00 now there outrages! so goes this World, Yes people I do miss the GOOD OLD DAYS, having had 6 Major Back Surgies, a Double lung Transplant, and a Neck Surgery that took the use of my right hand, now I make models with one hand, not show models, but I'm trying, so you see times have gotten to the point were Big Business has raised the Prices of everything, while the little guy that did the work for those big Companies and the little guy can't and won't b able to buy those high priced items. On EBay guy's are buying kits tearing them apart and selling them piece by piece, Greedy, I'd say so, just like the Doctors that Operate on me, they've paidof their Medical Equipment years ago, but yet they charge more each year using their same Equipment, go figure! I know many of you couldn't care less about what I'm saying, and think that I want everyone to feel sorry for me, which isn't the case at all, I just want those of you who think that us Old Timers are wimps, were not, it's just that when we were young and sitting around the Radio on Sunday Nights listening to the Lone Ranger, or on the Front Pourch as a Family, that worked lived and played together, will never know how good it was. Sorry for the missed spelled words, as never finished HighSchool, I was a Marine at the age of 16, and yes I built Models in the Corps. mickey1938

The price new Models is unbelieveable, the price of Oil is unbelieveable, and today there's so many Video Games Etc, I myself believe that the World of Minature is in fact slowing way down, my Son got into modeling up until he met some Girls then he got into Drumming, self taugh, then it was Nascar 2003 Racing on line then he started into Computer PAINTING! then theres the new 3D drawing which isn't cheap, Photo Etch is really rising in price, Models are more costly, I got a 1/16 Cobra off from Evilbay, I paid a good buck it, when it got it had a price tag from 1996 on it the price was $6.99, so with the high cost of College and everything, I do see the Hobby going to the Dogs, that is for the non-scratch builder. Scratch Builders are a Fantastic bunch of Artistes, that will do what ever it takes to make the Hobby stay alive, us poor people will take hand me downs till there gone, then what? mickey1938

I have one Pet Pee!! Why doesn't the Model Companies make Dip Sticks for their regular Street Cars? I once collected Die Cast Cars, The Companies that charge $139.99 for a Car and no Dip Stick, nor a Automatic Stick, what's up!! Of course when I was younger they didn't even have Plug Wires or even Plastic, everything was Wood. I love Model Cars!! MICKEY1938

I too believe that its real! mickey1938

How much was the body? mickey1938
