It all depends on where the most recent issue of each kit was made.

USA: there is a possibility Atlantis now has it.

China: Revell still has it, whether they intend to run it again or not.

Simple as that.

It appears the last reissue of the Ranchero was in 1995, with made in USA on the box. My guess is Atlantis likely has it, along with the "60" (really a 59) Corvette.

Looks like the last issue, from 2006, was produced in Poland.:

Huh, didn't expect that.  Gotta wonder if Revell would ever be motivated to reissue it again?

Some of those old kits are sure appealing. I had this rare early amt multi-piece kit come to me almost forty years ago ...

one of these days I'll have to get going on it

I have one of those.

Larry ray -I like the start of the Comet wagon in the background! Is that a Trumpeter Falcon Ranchero combined with a Mobius body?

I, for one, can't wait for the '56 Buick kit.  I have a really strong memory of my dad carrying me down the cellar stairs at my uncle's house, they were going to show me the train layout.  But all I had eyes for was the half-built '56 Buick kit that my older cousin was building.

I contacted Atlantis about the status of the ’56 Buick. Here’s their reply:

Hello, the buick is in the mold shop being worked on. It will be coming out. I just don't have a time frame yet.

There’s still hope!
