The Cougar should be very nice.

I'm probably in for the Chevelle and the Willys. And the Cougar, and the Riv. Who am I kidding?

[Volzfan59]

I’m definitely in for the Chevelle and the Cougar!

[Radretireddad]

Recalling recent posts from Sir Goldman, I can’t help thinking and hoping round2’s upcoming releases are building up to bigger things so I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. This revelation has me thinking my limited summer hobby budget will be spent on what’s in my garage and not what’s at the LHS.

[stavanzer]

They'll get two kits out of this line up, for me.

The BRE Datsun Truck and the Red Merc Cougar. But, not much else, so far.

There will be more announcements, I am sure.

Very excited to see the old kits from the sixty come back out

Do you think the Cougar is the old MPC kit?

Nope

Chevelle, Cougar and Willy's for sure, like 2-3 of each.

Since the Riviera in that box had a vinyl top molded on, you think it will be a decal or touched up box art?

[rickcaps55]

These have been around for a long time any news on the new 65 Plymouth Cuda that's the one of the year.

End of the year (4Q) on the presumption that tariffs don't go all sideways again.

68-69 Riviera kit has always had the vinyl top grain and moldings.  I have an original issue that I built in 1969 and it has the vinyl top detail.

Gasser looking like a lot of fun. Hoping it's a flip nose. 

[Dave Van]

The RIV a vintage or new tool???

If they follow the 1:1 car, would be a tilt front end......  would love to see this kit as George's Willys looked when he first came back out of "retirement", with the blown 327

It’s a reissue of a vintage “annual” kit.

It’s not bad for its time, but if you want a fully detailed kit I’d recommend AMT’s 1966 Riviera which was originally tooled around 2000.

[slusher]

I am definitely interested in the Cougar!

All of the reissues have the vinyl roof detail removed.

I have a '68-9 annual and I don't recall the v-top. Purchased in the early '70s, before any re-releases... now I gotta go back and look. 

[Mark]

I've got two annuals, they have vinyl roof detail as did the '68.

[Motor City]

The '68 does not have a vinyl roof.

[Rob Hall]

The Chevelle doesn't have a vinyl top or posable front wheels, so they are taking a bit of artistic license with the box art...these have all been reissued many times.  Looking forward to the '60 Impala wagon, '65 Barracuda, '72 Duster and others.

Why is the Cougar molded in red?
