two questions actually

[Husky1943]

Revell, AMT, Monogram, Lindberg, Tamiya (yeah, right!?) anybody!

May I have these two vehicles (or maybe re-tooled re-issues[?] issued as models, please? 

I want a 1932 Ford Tudor Sedan (stock version) AND

a 1934 Ford Tudor Sedan (2 and 4-door suicide) (stock version)

I promise to be a good modeler and buy them frequently.  i would also be willing to settle for chevys in those years, and a 1936 Dodge (2 and 4-door models both).  All stock and either 1/24th or 1/25th would be great.  Other than that, those are all of my questions, Santa.

They're out there.

Not all that hard to find.

I don't think that we can say that there has ever been any shortage of '32 Ford model kits.

The Revell '32 Ford sedan is WAY more accurate than AMT's offering, but you'll have to do some engine, chassis and interior work to build it stock.

AMT 32 wheels are useless if you're building stock but the AMT 34 wheels if you found some are much more accurate on the 32. Someone on the board might have those kicking around. I can  live with the other faults but the wheels are plain wrong. Even back when I was a kid building these cars around 1960ish I knew they didn't look right. That's just a fwiw.

Steve,  I see that your "stash" is way bigger than mine.  Please put me in your will. 

Bill, I should have stressed the word "stock."  I guess I am a little sad, because I grew up with car kits, and they were just (to me) such beautiful cars.  So stylish and just elegant.  I realize that I can find them on the interwebs, .  I just need to look. 

David, I have to honest - I could not care less about accuracy.  Bolt-counting is what drove me out of the 1/35th tank world. 

Thanks you guys for your time and thoughts, though.  One of these days....

Yes...if you're not particularly concerned with accuracy, both AMT's '32 Ford Tudor sedan and their '33 sedan (virtually identical to a '34) can be built stock...though they show rodded versions on the boxes...

   

...though to do the '33 sedan "stock", you'd need the interchangeable guts from the '34 5-window coupe...and some interior work.

                                       

EDIT: Just a warning...stay away from this kit. There's almost nothing in the box that's usable (at least from a somewhat accurate standpoint), other than the body shell as the basis of a race car.

The kits that I posted are not from my stash.

I don't believe that I even have a '32 or '34 Ford among my stuff.

 

These were pics taken directly from ebay.

They are available and not expensive at all, with the possible exception of the older "street rods" '32.

The '32 Vicky and '34 sedan I see routinely in the $20.00-$25.00 range.

And there are stock height 4 door sedan resin bodies available for both. Just be careful because there are also chopped versions

To me this is the best street rod kit out there I just finished it posted on my you tube channel
