Oldcarfan27 Posted February 6, 2021 Posted February 6, 2021 I just saw this on Ebay. It's just a promotional flyer for these. I've never even heard of them before, but the only thing I can find online is for 1/72 aircraft. Does anyone have any reference of these for cars? Or any information on the entire series. Tim Boyd, where are you?
Mark Posted February 6, 2021 Posted February 6, 2021 The automotive ones were previewed at a trade show around 1964, but did not generate enough interest from hobby dealers to warrant production. The idea behind these was that they would have been cheap to make, Revell was getting into slot racing at the time so money for other new products was thin on the ground. An Ed Roth themed one would have been cool to see too...
Mark Posted February 6, 2021 Posted February 6, 2021 The drag strip display base in several late sixties AMT kits looks an awful lot like that Revell item, but with space for only one car.
Casey Posted February 6, 2021 Posted February 6, 2021 Saw this last night, too, didn't find anything via Google. Here's a larger image:
Mark Posted February 6, 2021 Posted February 6, 2021 The old CAR MODEL magazine had a couple of articles on building garage scenes from cardboard boxes. The idea was to put all of the tools, spare parts, and figures included in most car kits to use.
