Taking a shortcut to Ask G&J.....

[Guest zebm1]

While re-reading MCM Issue #109, Dennis Doty's article on AMT '57 T-Birds, I got to thinking. Yah I know it's a dangerous thing >--->my thinking. Dennis says that in 1967 kit #4037 came out in tha Craftsman series.

Now I remember that there was an AMT 3n1 57 Bird in ,I believe, 1963. Tha reason for my memory was an article in Hot Rod magazine on "Knot" Farrington's 57 Bird Bonneville Streamliner and I used that kit to model one. Took me all of 2 hrs of websurfing to find a pic of that car...it's a 1/43 built model by Ugo Fadini (sp?).....

sum stats on tha car, ran a supercharged Hemi and came to Bonneville in almost stock form-1960, ran 200.622.

Back in 1961 w/ streamliner body - 219.898

1962 -228.998 : Record in A Sports

1963 - 241.786

Does anyone else remember this AMT 1957 T-Bird model kit from 1963? I think it was a Trophy Series kit with lots of parts, including custom parts and a tube of AMT putty.

Oh BTW, all these years later I find I got tha color wrong, thought it was a darker kandy red.

I was going to move this to the Ask Gregg and Jairus forum... but there isn't a question. Unless you are asking if we remember the car... the answer is .... NO!

Sorry about that Jairus, guess I need to remember to scroll down more often...older dawg, older habits. Tha question is about tha AMT 1957 Thunderbird 3n1 kit that I remember from 1963. I know that it wasn't an annual, but perhaps it was a Trophy Series kit. It came in a larger than normal box as I remember it.

Ahhh, yu can delete this posting if yu want to Jairus, I moved it to tha appropriate Forum.......
