CapSat 6 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Seriously, though: what about a reissue of a '70's custom van with Coke packaging & decals, with two building options: one for a stock-ish period delivery van, and the other for a Coke themed wild custom van? The AMT Ford or Chevy, or the MPC Dodge would be great candidates. The box art for such a kit could be killer. We haven't seen the MPC Ford van in some time (basically since the early 80's), that would be a really nice one to have back. This would be a great excuse to get it back. Some of the custom parts in some of those (Sunrunner, Sorcerer, Juke Box?) were fantastic. I'm thinking they had the option to flip that tool back and forth from 2wd to 4wd configuration; the 2wd would work better for this purpose. I seem to remember these kits having stock dog dish hubcaps in them, they would work well for the delivery van option. Didn't they do a Ford Ranger pickup with Coke graphics in the 90's? Even that one was pretty cool. Oh wait- I see that in the thread. Yeah, pretty cool! Edited August 5, 2019 by CapSat 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was a special run for a convention, but I'm not sure. Lindberg released a few kits in Coca-Cola themed packaging, as did RC2, pre-Round2. There's really nothing new about this phenomenon, save for maybe the sheer volume this time around: Edited August 5, 2019 by Casey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 They'd have to get Levi's licensing too. They didn't for the Gremlin kits, the box only mentioned a "denim" interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could include the letters all scrambled up on the decal sheet and we can put it back together if we wanted to. Ford logo should be a slam-dunk since they have to get Ford's OK for the van anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89AKurt Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I got decals from Hong Kong via eBay some time ago, but it's no longer available. I see another style Coke decals are available. I'm sure Coke lawyers track down everyone who sells non-licensed stuff, so get it when you see it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisBcritter Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) Speaking of "the real thing", a suggestion for Round2/AMT: Put your money where your mouth is and tool up a REAL delivery body and chassis for one of your existing truck kits (yes, including those wheels/tires): The Coca-Collectors would buy plenty of them, and so would the rest of us builders, many of whom would toss the delivery part and build various haulers. Consider the gauntlet thrown. Edited September 2, 2019 by ChrisBcritter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
