2 more of my favorites. Although these are dealer promotionals ( another one of my vices )

I've always wondered how the Johan 1969 GTX box was so similar to the MPC 1969 Barracuda box and yet be from 2 completely different companies.

The box art is similar because it's from Chrysler, not designed by the model companies. The cartoons on the promo boxes are reproductions from Chrysler print ads of the time.

I don't know if any of these are the best ever but they are my favorites. I use them as a border at the top of the walls in my model room.

Why was everything nicer and better in them good old times?

To be fair, some of those kits with great box art contained parts that left much to be desired. Arguably in several cases the box is far better than the kit was.

I must admit to being partial to the Lynnwood '55 Chevy art, family ties and all...

One of my personal favorite box art would be this 330 P4 by Fujimi

I'm packing for a move, just found a bunch of those kits, you're right, good stuff. The IMC stuff too.

That is a good one Ron! It makes me want to buy an old AMT '40 Ford kit and just get to building on it!

I'll add my vote to the "Oil Painting" Heller Kits. Ok the engine in the kit isn't all it could be but I've been tempted to buy the kits just for the Box Art!

I think the Martini 917K, Ferrari 330P4 and Ferrari 512s also came with this style box's in the early 70's releases.

I've always thought this one was so breath taking and appealing to me. It just showed so much dominance and muscle. I have one of these kits as a build when i get better. I built this one for my little brother back in the day when they mass produced them.

I like the boxart for the Batmobile Deluxe Edition.

What kit is this pic from? I want it.........

It a Yodel Dodge Monaco.

I'm planning to build a copy but using the AMT kit. There was a thread, but it was mixed in with another. Look under 'Kit reviews' - Yodel Ameriacan Police cars.
