Your Favourite Vintage Car Commercial

GAZ or not, it's always nice to have alternate sources of vintage Ford parts in 1/24. Kit #24052 (photo above) appears to be a US version. Is that correct?

Chevy and engines in general have figured centrally in my life, but a well-rounded man broadens his interests.

Models at car shows used to smile at me, but these days I don't go to many car shows, and pretty young things don't smile at me much.

Can you say "malarkey", boys and girls?

Wow. Sure would be cool to live in a time-space continuum where there was a real hobby shop that had all those on the shelves. Best wishes for continued success in the new year.

IIRC from several hundred years ago, the pins on the steering parts were originally s'posed to be melted flat on the ends with a hot knife or screwdriver blade...after assembly, of course. Anyway, she's still coming along nicely.
