Yup, this one had all the Gasser goodies in it. 

This one did not...

Yes they could have. And should have. And they'd have sold me at least one more. But now, no deal (at least until Ollie's blows them out cheap in a couple years). 

Yup, I've been wondering for years why Round 2 has been waiting so long to reissue this kit, and hoping they'd be smart and rerelease it as a faux retro Trophy Series 3 in 1.  The majority of car modeling trends follow the 1:1 car world, and gassers are hot right now.

Including the gasser parts in this release and thereby allowing that version to be featured on the box art probably would have helped move the most kits for Round 2.  I still suspect this will sell OK, since it's the only game in town for a '55 2-door sedan, but if they'd tried a bit harder this could have been a home run.

I already have 2 of the first issue stock/street machine versions (red/white box art above), so I'll pass on this.  But I would've bit if they included the gasser parts and some good retro style decals.
