Breaking news from Lindberg- New Kit Announcement

Hard on the heels of the announcement of the Paul Goldsmith '64 Plymouth comes news of a second release. 1964 Daytona 500 runner up Jimmy Pardue's Plymouth stock car is to be kitted for the first time. Well liked by fans and other drivers alike, "Gentle Jimmy" Pardue, with the "Car 54, where are you" license plate from the popular TV series of the same name on his race car, was poised to break out as one of the new stars in '64.

His career was cut short by a crash during tire tests at Charlotte Motor Speedway only a couple of weeks before Darlington's famed Southern 500, a race that Jimmy was favored to win. This kit depicts his Daytona car in the early season white livery and includes all the markings to replicate his ride in the 500. As with the earlier Richard Petty and Paul Goldsmith Plymouth kits this one is jam packed with details and all the special Mopar racing parts to build real Hemi Hummer. Look for it wherever models are sold.

Release date 4-1-09

Fabulous as always! I LOVE these. You do such a great job. You should market kits for one of the model companies. They would sell a boatlload of whatever you put in your crosshairs!

Ooooo, I hate you Jerry. I was all ready to decide what to sell to get one. I hate to think of what you have up your sleeve for fool's day.

Every time you do one of these, I think its too bad the model companies arent doing as good a job as you are. You always have better ideas than they do! Great jpb.

Thanks guys, I've been in this business a LONG time so I guess I should have learned something, huh? LOL As for April, I'm just gettin' warmed up. This is something new I'm working on. I scanned a page from a real Lindberg catalog to give it some creditablity and changed the copy and cut out the pics. I've now got a mask that I can put new copy and pics in about a fifth of the time this one took. Got to get out some of my old ERTL, MPC, Monogram and Revell catalogs now since ya'll seem to enjoy this one. Maybe if I do enough of'em someone in the industry will notice and maybe let me get back inside again.
