michelle Posted June 30, 2024 Posted June 30, 2024 I was going through my parts boxes for chassis and interior pans and found these vintage parts The one chassis is from some Johan General Motors car going by what is on the chassis And the one almost complete interior pan looks to be from a a thunderbird promo going by the peg holes on the front and back And the dash on the other interior pan looks kinda like a mercury cougar dash and the interior pan fits on both the white bare plastic chassis and blue painted chassis
michelle Posted June 30, 2024 Author Posted June 30, 2024 Here is two pics of that thunderbird promo interior after I removed those old old homemade decals that were glued from the top of the dash and the seats I could not remove the ones from the floor
Mark Posted June 30, 2024 Posted June 30, 2024 The Jo-Han chassis is from a Cadillac, it looks like the USA Oldies '64 unit. There's a chance it could be from a '63, but it's most likely '64. The Thunderbird interior is probably a '61 convertible piece. The other chassis and interior are AMT Gremlin parts.

Mark Posted June 30, 2024 Posted June 30, 2024 I'm saying '61 on the Thunderbird interior because it has mounting tabs at the front. It's most likely from a '61 Styline hardtop, because (a) the hardtop kit had the hood molded shut, which would make way for the mounting tabs at the front, and (b) the upholstery stickers. The '61 convertible kit, as well as all '62 and '63 kits (except for one '63 hardtop reissue) had a separate hood which would not leave room for the front tabs.
