landman Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 How many sedan deliveries were kitted and how many are still produced. I'm aware of the Model T pie wagon and the 39=40 Ford.
Rob Hall Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 Galaxie Ltd did a '46-48 Chevy. There have also been many stock and phantom ones made in resin.
Snake45 Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 I believe Revell's Thames is considered a sedan delivery.Would the old, much coveted MPC '33 Chevy panel be considered a SD?The original annual AMT '67 Corvette roadster kit included a phantom SD top.
ranma Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 1926 Ford sedan delivery,31 Ford, 37 ford,39/40 ford. 39 chevy, 46-48 Chevy, 53/54 Chevy, 60 Chevy (quick silver/bad actor). In die cast there are more. Johnny Lightning made a die cast 57 ford sedan Delivery, and many resin casters have made some from the 40's -2000's
Mark Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 Two rear doors (Thames, '33 Chevy) would make them panel trucks for most people. The '23 T falls into this category too.Not too many kits out there ('53/'54 and '60 Chevies) but probably lots of resin. Jimmy Flintstone's studio would be a good place to start looking.
mk11 Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 Didn't the original amt falcon ranchero have parts to convert it to one? mike
Mike999 Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 Can't think of any more in plastic, except the one oddball described below. But yes, many in resin. I have an old '49 Ford SD resin body for the AMT kit, and a '53 Ford "Mainliner" that fits the Lindberg kit. Not quite an SD, but one of the weirdest resin kits I have is a '58 Imperial 2-door station wagon. Oddball: the ESCI/Italeri/Revell 1/24 Mercedes 230-G off-road vehicle. Not kitted as a panel truck/sedan delivery, but you can turn it into one easily with a little sheet plastic and putty. Mercedes sold that version. They were used by the German army and others as an ambulance and general-purpose vehicle. ESCI made it with 2 different tailgate treatments. The Rally version has vertically split "barn door" rear doors. The Fire Dept. (Feuerwehr) version has horizontally-split tailgate/window doors, like a station wagon. It also comes with a generator, roof lights and other fire equipment. Italeri has re-issued the Rally version and Revell-Germany re-popped the Feuerwehr kit.
landman Posted August 23, 2017 Author Posted August 23, 2017 Thank you gentlemen. Now I can start looking.
Mercuryman54 Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 Fairly recently AMT released the 40 Ford as a 3 stooges version. Probably still available.
crazyjim Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 I'll be getting the '39 Chevy SD in a couple of weeks.
lysleder Posted August 24, 2017 Posted August 24, 2017 Why, but you all seem to have forgotten about Heller's Mercedes 170V.It was last released some ten - fifteen years ago, so it might be a challenge to find one nowadays. Sweet kit though.
Russell C Posted August 24, 2017 Posted August 24, 2017 Round 2's Pinto re-release a bit of a stretch? http://round2corp.com/product/1979-ford-pinto-wagon-pony-express/
crazyjim Posted August 24, 2017 Posted August 24, 2017 I have a Revell 39 Chevy Sedan Delivery.Do want to trade out any parts? The guy getting the '39 Chevy SD is notorious for selling kits missing parts. I don't know what, if any, parts I'll ahve to find for the one I'm getting.
Jon Haigwood Posted August 24, 2017 Posted August 24, 2017 Picked up a 48 Ford resin at a swap meet a couple years back
Mike999 Posted August 24, 2017 Posted August 24, 2017 Why, but you all seem to have forgotten about Heller's Mercedes 170V. It was last released some ten - fifteen years ago, so it might be a challenge to find one nowadays. Sweet kit though. You're right. I have a couple of those on the shelf and forgot about them myself. Duh! I've seen them built into a killer street rod. Here's the box art for that last issue of the "Lieferwagen:"
Eshaver Posted August 24, 2017 Posted August 24, 2017 Didn't the original amt falcon ranchero have parts to convert it to one? mike , here is an ORIGINAL AMT Styline Ranchero kit .
Snake45 Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Two rear doors (Thames, '33 Chevy) would make them panel trucks for most people. The '23 T falls into this category too. Like my Daddy always says, "You learn something new every day if you're not careful." Thanks!
Tom Geiger Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 You're right. I have a couple of those on the shelf and forgot about them myself. Duh! I've seen them built into a killer street rod. Here's the box art for that last issue of the "Lieferwagen:" I bought one of these on eBay in the last year from a US seller. They can get pricey, but when I want a kit I set up a search agent and bid modestly when one appears. Sometimes it can take a while, but I eventually get one for my price!
Mark Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Ford did sell a "base" version without the stripes...not sure if it had the portholes or not.
Jantrix Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 AMT did a custom Pacer wagon that came with pieces to fill the rear side windows into a panel wagon. I don't know if they came with the recent re-release.
plastic trucker Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Didn't they or MPC do that with the vega too?
