Very old model from the 50's that I'm finally building

[V8tiger]

I bought this little 1/32 model about 25 years ago off of eBay...It wasn't expensive and received it in a little plastic bag with instructions but never built it. I think it's from the early or mid fifties. Possibly part of the Revell Pioneer series....but this is just a guess. BUT I'm finally building it. I has a two piece 32 body which I glued together and got rid of the seam off. My skills have improved a lot over 25 years so I just told myself it was time to build it and to do a good job...I was wondering if anyone here in ForumLand has anything to add to what I already think I know...just having a little fun...

I have the same kit that I bought sometime in the last century. I’ve started it but currently it’s on hold. Will dig it out for pictures.

What you have is the Revell “Highway Pioneers” 1:32 Scale 1932 Ford Roadster.

It is one of Revell’s earliest car models and dates back to 1954:

Minecraft reissued that kit in the Eighties, in a set with (I think) three other cars.  The gray plastic has me thinking you have one of the reissue kits.
