Apparently the Trophy Series custom parts have not found their way back into the Fairlane kit.

There are more custom parts in the '57 Ford than are shown in the instructions.  It has the Stylizing vertical quad headlamp setup.  

It does not have the Stylizing front and rear extensions, or the Edsel wagon taillight bezels.  I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for those to come back, as they were probably chopped out of the tool fifty years ago to fit the fuel injection tubes in.  They're in the space on the tree where the bezels were in earlier issues.  The Stylizing extensions were probably cut out so other parts could be put in later.

For the Hot Wheels series, I’m surprised that they chose the ‘69 COPO Camaro over the AMT ‘68 Camaro Z/28 Street Machine kit.

Add some redline tires, an RS grille, and  include the blower setup and you’d have a decent ‘Heavy Chevy’ Hot Wheels model…

Yes, all these components would require being retooled, we know that.
Round2 has surprised us with much more elaborate re-toolings in the recent past.

Really looking forward to the Charger Hellcat!

But that 69 Camaro mold needs to be put out to pasture.

Surprise of the century: did not have VINCENT on my bingo card, and now I seriously want him!

In the theatre as a child, was terrorized by the Black Hole's ending; found it on VHS in the 90s, then got it on disc in the 00s.

Love this film so much, and seeing this little guy put a smile on my face.

Also the Widebody is a must-have. Great stuff, Round 2! Thank you!
