GaryR Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Great thread! I remember this stuff from Car Model as a teen. NOW, let's see the Yont's dragsters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell C Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) Took a while, but I re-uploaded all the photos which disappeared last year as a result of the forum upgrade. So, the photo collection supplied by Bob Nordberg's son are all back up in this thread's pages 1 & 2, and we are awaiting on the restoration of Bob's cabover truck, along with any other news about this whole collection going to the International Model Car Museum. Stay tuned. Edited March 8, 2016 by Russell C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathgoblin Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I hope these are all getting restored. It looks like the "Door Stop" and "Hang On Sloopy" have some pretty melty wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell C Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 (edited) Simply amazing to see the Nordberg Ford Cabover paired up again at the GSL 2019 contest's seminar on the latest International Model Car Museum acquisitions, just as it was in 1964 with the late Augie Hiscano's hot rod in the Revell-Pactra Contest. When I find more photos of different views of Nordberg's cabover before it was placed back into its bubble, I'll post 'em here, along with a link to the GSL seminar video on the Museum. Edited May 10, 2019 by Russell C Fixed the typo in Augie's last name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cab on the "clone" appears to be a '60 Ford pickup unit, which has the wraparound windshield. Someone spent a few bucks building that copy: the large tires used only came in a handful of kits, and three sets were needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
