Modlbldr Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 I pulled these valve covers off of an AMT screwbottom 63 Riviera engine. Who can tell me what these say, and why? Later- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figured they may have represented an, unfamiliar to me, aftermrket set or some odd thing like that. I figured there are a lot of guys on here that are knowledgeable of the history of the old AMT kits that might be able to fill me in?

espo Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Just a thought. Weren't there some fictitious models issued in the '60's and '70's based on some of the GM "personal luxury cars" of the era? Could this be a valve cover from one of those models? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was killed by the oil companies, and every trace of its existence was removed...except, apparently, for this one set of 1/25 scale valve covers. And if you play the valve cover backwards, it says "eat your dog". Cue X-Files music. Sounds like the subject of one of those special YooToob videos with the computer-voice narration that goes on and on and on and on and on and on with a nonsensical "secret" story and random photos that don't go with anything. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobss396 Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 My 2¢.... Maybe the engraver did a mash-up of one or 3 of his kids names just to mess with us from the grave. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOBLNG Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 According to the google translate app on my phone…DEELMAER is Dutch meaning “participant”. 🥴🙄 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
