khier Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 After a long period of silence, Tom Coolidge is active again. He finally decided to go with the long awaited extension of his 1959 Olds line: a station wagon. Few pictures but they say a lot:http://public.fotki.com/tomcoolidge/1959-oldsmobile-series/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

om617 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Looks very nice. I wonder if you could use the 60 Bonneville from Trumpeter as donor for full detail? They go cheap on Ebay now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHarrison Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 What a cool piece! You can bet if its from Tom Coolidge its gonna be top notch quality. I have built a few of his cars and been super pleased every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strictly speaking: No, since each GM brand used its own chassis and engine(s). Check this link for frame differences:http://www.curbsideclassic.com/automotive-histories/automotive-history-an-x-ray-look-at-gms-x-frame-1957-1970/ But if it will make you happy to have under hood and under body details regardless of accuracy then go ahead. Model car building is to have fun, not to torture yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranma Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 What's the price of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khier Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 What's the price of it? Email Tom for the price. Tom sells complete kits for around 90 $. The price of this kit should be around this figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
