rsmodels Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 This was one I bought already built and then restored. I removed the third tail lights as the kit came with triple rear lights. I used original 1960 AMT/SMP tires rather than the soft tires it came with. I also added side glass to the doors. Of course I foiled and detailed it. My late brother used to be picked up every day to go to high school (early 60's) in a wagon just like this. It brings back great memories. I have another of these I'll probably build someday too. Comments and/or suggestions are welcome. -Rich 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisc63 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 LOVE the big early 60s GM cars; sedans, hardtops, wagons, ALL! This is a particularly nice looking wagon, owing as much to the tasteful blue color as Chevy's oh-so-cool body styling. Digging everything about this one. SO well done.

I'm used to it as most of my builds are from the 50's and 60's and have a good amount of chrome trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooOld Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Absolutely gorgeous ! I like that you removed the third taillight , that's often overlooked . I've owned a few '60 Chevys and have been looking for one of these kits for a while now , can only hope mine turns out half as nice as yours !
