It was re-issued recently but you didn't recognize it. The tooling was changed from the sedan to a pick-up/woody back in the 60's.

If there was demand this could be a "low lift" clone kit as all that is needed are the sedan specific parts.

Think this one qualifies: don't think Revell ever reissued the '69 Dart after their initial mid-90s release.  Every version since then has been a '68 (Mr. Norm's GSS, Dick Landy drag car, then finally the still available Hemi Dart 2 in 1).

My first thought was that this is a rare "modern" example, but I think we're closing in on thirty years since this one was originally released.

I totally get it Robert.

When I started collecting in the late 70’s a vintage kit could be a recent as an early 70’s annual and a really vintage kit was just 20 years old.

Now I look at kits from the mid 80’s and 90’s as “modern” even though they are 30 ish years old.

This is a collection I recently pulled from a local attic. 25 annuals, 2 Monogram dragsters and a craftsman Jr.

Of the annuals only the 62 Fury was ever re-issued.

To echo what Steven Guthmiller has been saying, more often than not annuals were one and done kits.

The Monogram early fox body Mustangs like the pace car, Cobra, Cafe racer, 83 convertibles.

All of the USA Oldies kits were re-issues.

I don't believe that Revell ever re-issued their '62 Fury though.

 

But if the Buick convertible in Craig's photo is a '59, the hard top version was re-issued as the "Boondock Bomber".

I'm thinking 1962-ish?

The "South of the Border" series was very late '60s or very early '70s, I believe. I know the '65 Riviera was in it, and I'm thinking the '66 Skylark as well.

A few of the kits were re-issued as different body styles: The 59 Buick HT (mine is a convertible), the 63 Impala HT (mine is a convertible), the 61 Ford Victoria HT (mine is a Starliner) and the 63 Galaxie HT (mine is a convertible).

That is true but most, if not all, were re-issued with a number of incorrect, non-original parts - usually interior pieces or the entire interiors. I have Plymouths with Dodge interiors or steering wheels. The 1962 Chrysler 300H was re-issued with the "lower level" non-letter car interior. The correct factory stock kits were one shot deals.

That’s true.

Actually, the USA Oldies ‘62 Chrysler interior was not a ‘62 “non-letter car” interior, but rather a tub taken from the ‘65 Chrysler 300 promo.

What about the Revell 1959 Corvette ?  The 58 has been reissued several times, but If my recollection is correct, the 59 was only released once as the 2 in 1
