Ron Hamilton Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Replicas and Miniatures Co. of MD had the Westcraft Boat from the '64 El Camino in their line. I have one for my '64 El Camino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Ellis Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) WestCraft was a real AMT 1:1 product, Edited May 12, 2016 by Bob Ellis missing info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Anybody know the history of the real boat this kit was based off of? I've done several different searches and can find nothing on a real boat just like that one. A searches using the word Westcraft, or West craft. or combinations with each come up with nothing on a real life that matches the AMT kit boat.

dimaxion Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 It is worth the monies from M&RoM . Thanx .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Ellis Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 West craft was a real 1:1 product of AMT . I suspect the name is based on West Gallogly, the lawyer who started AMT in 1948. He had friends at Ford who supported his business Alumiun Metal Toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack lira Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I have a flyer with an addres of Wes Craft co box 400 Troy Mich dont know how to post pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pack rat Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 West Gallogly Jr was the guy behind the Wes Craft boat. There doesn't seem to be any reference out there on the boat. I have a copy of the flyer mentioned above, but can't seem to locate it right now. I think the flyer refers to the boat as a Glass Slipper, but if you Google Glass Slipper you'll see a totally different boat.According to an ex-AMT staffer, he only recalled seeing a couple of them, one being the prototype.

Bob Ellis Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 The little Westcraft looks reminds me of tose little hydroplane boats the people used to build themselves . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron_F Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 Thanks for the help guys! I'm trying to collect all of the cool accessory pieces that came with the AMT kits, so far I only have the Go Kart from the '63 Ford truck. This boat is a must have!
