Did Monogram ever make a Chevy six

[junkyardjeff]

I have the Monogram 39 Chevy sedan delivery and would like to rebuild it with a six,I do have some AMT 216s but curious if Monogram ever made one.

Their 53 Corvette has one with optional parts for the 54

The engine in Monogram's 1/24 scale '53 Bel Air kit would be easier to backdate to appear as a '39 engine, if that's what you want to do, as it has a single carb as stock (the Corvette has three side-drafts). There were many releases in different boxings, and it's still common.

EDIT: Here's a reference page on those engines:    https://www.enginelabs.com/news/mighty-chevrolet-stovebolt-six/

I will have to look for that 53,did not know it was made.

[junkyardjeff]

Are those kits hard to find,all I found on Ebay were over 40 dollars so I might see if I can get s glue bomb for the engine.

[junkyardjeff]

Might use a Corvette since I can get one much cheaper.

Pretty sure I have a '53 Corvette kit if you are interested in a trade.

I have a built up partial engine that I think is from the 53 Bel air. Not sure right now how complete it is.

Deans Hobby Stop has one listed for $32.00 and Old Model Kits has one for $34.00.

I checked and I do have the '53 Corvette kit if you are interested.

Is the six in the 1/25 36 Chevy a lot smaller in the Monogram kit? It's definitely more in the era.

[junkyardjeff]

I will get back with you after I try someone locally who might have a glue bomb I can rob the engine from.

I presume they are a tad bit smaller but would like to see a Monogram six first.

The six-cylinder engine found in the Galaxy '46 to '48 Chevrolet kits might be one to consider. This kit has the correct shape for the Valve cover, Side Cover, the Manifolds as well as the Carburetor and Air Cleaner. These are all separate parts as well as the Road Draft Tube and the Distributer. The kits also include optional 3x2 Carb. setup and finned aluminum Valve Cover and Side Cover.

They’re pretty common, half the members here probably have one. Maybe offer a trade in the trade section.
