What kit did these come from

[junkyardjeff]

I used them on my 40 Ford sedan made into a hard top and I have never seen them before,I presume they came in the 60s parts I got a couple years ago

AMT '40 Ford coupe and sedan delivery.  They're meant to represent Olds Toronado wheel covers.

Those wheels were what I thought of so they had to have came with kits made after 1966.

It was '66, AMT started re-boxing Trophy Series kits then.  Many of the re-boxings brought some fresh parts into the kits.

The Toronado was a big deal (as it should have been), people were looking for things from it to use on other cars.  The Deora, for example, has a cut-down Toronado steering wheel.  I have seen another street rod or two from that era with Toronado steering wheels.

I've always liked the scrolling speedometer in the Toronados....... it would make a cool detail on a 1:1 kustom build.
