Model car history

[Greg Cullinan]

Hello all,

I googled for an hour or two last night and found some cool editorials and such but not exactly what I am looking for.

I would like info on the model makers releases for the 60s,70s and such.

I found boxes from old kits contain information on other releases by the manufacturers for the year.

Is there any books or websites that have it all in one place?

Model Car History-from Wikipedia

Schiffer Publishing has put out a couple kit histories/collector's guides. Revell, Monogram, and Aurora are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Mat Irvine's Automotive Modelling Masterclass book has a chapter on model car kit history. I think it was put out by Woodrow and Greene before the Masterclass series went to Osprey.

Tim Boyd has written several kit history articles in the other magazine, I think they offer a digital download package for a few of them.
