That's very cool.

Wonder if it includes decals for paint job on cover?

Think that used to be called scallops.

Kind of beyond pinstripes.

Cool. I have seen some pretty nice stuff made from that trailer.

You might want to read the ad you linked....oddly enough, it answers your very question.

Decent set of Buick wire wheels in there IIRC.

This may me Round2/AMT/MPC starting to open the flood gate for

releasing their showcars.

It would be topped by the crown jewel the 1/12 scale Lindberg 'Diamond Duster'.

That's sort of a lame name. I think early versions of that have a zippier name.

The Silhouette ranks in the top of showcars that have been made into models.

'Big Daddy' Ed Roth rules that title though.

Nearly every kid that built car models had a 'Big Daddy' car kit.

Then the figures like Ratfink were huge too.

The Silhouette is a standout with the clean styling.

That was a whole class of showcars.

They battled with the Styling studios at the Big Three to top each other

Very cool kit.
