'61 Pontiac Ventura

[modelercarl]

Finished this build a couple of weeks ago.  This is a model of my first car bought after getting out of the Army in August 1964.  Didn't have a whole lot of money but was lucky finding this one.  When I went into the Army in 1961 I sold a 1960 Catalina and was hoping to find another one when I got out but this was available so I snapped it up.

The kit went together very well, what I have come to expect from Moebius.  Make a fantastic looking Poncho!

I love it!  Looks good in white.  I've got to get one of these kits soon.

The color looks good, did the kit come with the wide white walls.

Very nice, how much was it back in 64?

Yes, those are the kit tires.

I don't remember the exact figure but it was around $1,200.00.  I had to put a new battery in it and replaced the tires also.

Well done. How about some engine and chassis shots?

Great looking Pontiac. The early '60's Pontiacs were some of the best looking cars at that time, and they were fast.
