This is 100% nostalgia approach

The packaging is original and the subject matter is too

Lindberg didn't 'play it safe' so it would sell to new audience

They get high marks from me

I was about to place an order...and then I saw they're 1/32 scale.

Yep...I built the '33ish open one and a '33 Phaeton version as a kid in the late 70s...very simplified but fun.  Plastic tires, everything molded in red then IIRC.

Mr Hall

Good point about molded in color, I don't give it my 100% Nostalgia rating

unless it's molded in color,:)

I'd say the box is late 50's.

In the last 2 or 3 years Round 2 has only put out one kit

in the really old box, the AMT '49 Mercury.

This kit is better, if it's an old kit put it in an old box!

Molded in color! Not only that, but each car is in a separete color!

These two might be fun as couple of quick builds. I kind of like the looks of these two.

I don't like their scale, but the mid engined T bucket might be an interesting project in 1/25th.

Here's someone kit bashing this kit with a Lindberg 1/32 1930 Ford Model A Pickup.

See Part 2 of his article, it shows what he's doing.

These 1/32's are hard enough to build and here he is kit bashing it.

Thanks!
