SfanGoch Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) And, that's it?!? No other information on tentative rerelease? Nothing else except a picture of a box? Posts like this are a waste of people's time. Edited October 8, 2020 by SfanGoch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SfanGoch Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I know that this would be a reissue. What annoys the hell out of me is when somebody post a cryptic picture like this with no further information with which to place it in proper context. After all, this is the "Car Kits & Reviews" section, not the cool box art forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gman Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I would be happy to see that kit back on store shelves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I'd prefer the '55. I'm not fond of the '56 car's looks. Chevy never should have "Improved" the '55, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) It's clear to most this is a near-straight reissue of the California Wheels version, for which there are reviews here: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/revell-1956-chevy-del-ray/ New decals, box art, Bob's your uncle.

Near straight, except this one can also be built stock. I hope Hobby Lobby gets some in. I could use a couple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I owned this one back in the day! Actually owned it twice but that’s a long story. And I only have one picture. You can see the back corner of my 65 Barracuda and tail end of my 66 Valiant in the driveway. I do have to build a copy of this car one of these days!

Hopefully , that guy at George's Garage is awaiting the recycling man to come along and buy those wheels . In the meantime , he's installing a trad paint scheme . Don't think that I've not seen exactly the outfit you've described --- I grew up in a Los Angeles suburb ! Haha ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor City Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 "I'm not fond of the '56 car's looks. Chevy never should have "Improved" the '55, IMHO." I like the '55 better overall than the '56, but think the radiused quarter panel wheelhouse opening on the '56 & '57 looks way better than the ones on the '55, though it was done right on the Nomad. My folks had a '57 Bel Air hardtop, so that's my favorite Tri-Five since I remember it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Ya the '56 was the ugly middle sister of the tri 5s to many people. I still think it's the best of the three models. Don't get me wrong, I like the '55 and the '57 just fine but for me the '56 is the best of them all. I have never built a low ridder '56 and only a few others. The big hoops will not be used but some nice chrome reverse wheel with pin wall whites . There will be some metal flake and pearl as well.

RichCostello Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I do wish that Revell would do a 56 Bel Air hardtop, and convertible based on their 55s. Those would go great with their 56 Nomad, and while they're at it they might as well do a 57 Nomad to go with all the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
