Does Anyone Make....?

[charlie8575]

I have an idea for a project in mind; does anyone make a 1959 Ranchero in resin?

I vaguely remember a promo or kit from when they were new, but I'm not in the mood to completely evacuate my life savings. Not that I have much to evacuate, but you get the idea...

I know that PMC originally made a promotional-style model "in the day" - seems to me it was also available as a cellophane bagged unassembled kit as well. I wish you good luck in finding one of those umwarped and at a reasonable price!! I think that Tom Coolidge offered a resin version through his Promolite company at one point. It does not currently appear in his listing, however.

Charlie, you MIGHT wanna check Steve Kohler overt Star Models. He MIGHT carry one by R&R Resins. Ray pops ALOT of oddbal kits and Steve JUST might have one. It's worth a shot!

My uncle used to have a 59 Ranchero promo on his workbench to hold straight pins for his hobby, building large-scale model airplanes.

I also remember seeing soft-plastic 59 Rancheros back in the early 60's that looked pretty nice. Same company made 59 FOrd convertibles and 61 or 62 Cadillacs.
