Harry P.

bandit1 Posted September 30, 2011 Author Posted September 30, 2011 Have you tried a google search???? ive tried evilbay / emodelcars doesnt have one yet! (weird) / model round up and model express ive tried! and i figured someone would say "TRY GOOGLE"!
Harry P. Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Did you see the link in my answer to you??? All you have to do is click on it... I've already done your homework for you!
mikemodeler Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 (edited) Model Roundup says their's just arrived at $22.90 each and Tower Hobbies has them for $21.79 in limited quantities available. Those are my two online retailers and I am sure there are others that have this kit available, so what are you waiting for? Order one (or more) today! UPDATE: Had an email from Tower Hobbies, if you order at least $30.00, you get free shipping on the order. Use free shipping code 01A13 for the free shipping. Can't hardly beat that deal. Get some supplies and a kit and free shipping to boot! Edited September 30, 2011 by mikemodeler

The Chrysler has been delayed... should be out early next year. Don't know about the HEMI. Anyone?
RichCostello Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Megahobby.com,$22.90 plus $8.95 shipping.
a/gass Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 great lakes hobby&toy has it for $21.99 shiping is free with orders over $50.00 - dont think they have it on line yet should soon though or you can call tom and place a order 1-586-254-1600 they had 11 left this morning?
my66s55 Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 The Chrysler has been delayed... should be out early next year. Don't know about the HEMI. Anyone? Chrysler and Desoto only used hemi's in 1955.
Dr. Cranky Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Harry, good find. Geez, there's a place that has it for 18.95. That's a good deal. But shipping costs can often almost go as high as the kit, so beware. Shop smart and be happy!
Bobdude Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 I got my 2 kits from Model King in New Jersey $18.00 per kit plus $7.00 S&H I think $43.00 was cheap.
Dr. Cranky Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Sometimes I ponder whatever happened to free shipping. I guess prices just got too high!
Harry P. Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Chrysler and Desoto only used hemi's in 1955. Chrysler's Fire Power HEMI came out in 1951.
Dr. Cranky Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Harry, sometimes I feel like you are sitting in the Patent Office at The Library of Congress . . . all the answers at your fingertips! :lol:
gbdolfans Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Hey Cranky, The site that has it for $18.95 would charge me $11.05 shipping to NC.It looks like they only use UPS which is more costly than Post Office. I have one on hold at a LHS and they have it for $28.99. I will be getting mine the first of the week.
gbdolfans Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 (edited) hey guys, I am having trouble finding the colors that it came in,interior and exterior. I am not the best at googleing??? I put in hudson hornet colors and did not help much. Thanks in advance Edited September 30, 2011 by gbdolfans
Art Anderson Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 The Chrysler has been delayed... should be out early next year. Don't know about the HEMI. Anyone? Harry, the only engine available in a 1955 Chrysler (across all body styles and trim levels) was the 354cid Hemi V8. Art
Dr. Cranky Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Sometimes the best bet is to turn around and support your local hobby store, or a wonderful place like MODELROUNDUP! And NO, they are not paying me to say that!
Art Anderson Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 hey guys, I am having trouble finding the colors that it came in,interior and exterior. I am not the best at googleing??? I put in hudson hornet colors and did not help much. Thanks in advance Google works very well on the principle of GIGO (Garbage In, Garbage Out). That said, autocolorlibrary.com has all the postwar years of Hudson paint chips on their site, just search Hudson, then the year. Now, you will need to read the chip charts carefully, as they do note that certain colors were carryovers from 1952, even 1951. In addition, when researching the body colors for Moebius' instruction sheet, I found that the autocolorlibrary chip charts also show which colors could be combined for 2-tone schemes. There weren't a lot of interior color options in 1953 for most makes of cars, including Hudson, particularly where ordinary passenger cars (coupes and sedans) were concerned. Dave Metzner, on the instruction sheet, shows a tan and brown scheme; there was also a light grey/dark grey scheme, available, the light grey in the same areas of upholstery as the tan in the pics on the instruction sheet. In all cases however, it appears that Hudson painted the dashboards the the same color as used for the primary body color (whatever color was used on the middle portion of the body shell horizontally). Hope this helps! Art
gbdolfans Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Thank you very much Art. This will help me a great deal.This is what I love about this forum. Modelers helping modelers. Art, thanks again. George
Guest Johnny Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Just pick one source and buy because soon because the price will start climbing when stock is sold out the profiteers start to sell!
Foxer Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Harry, sometimes I feel like you are sitting in the Patent Office at The Library of Congress . . . all the answers at your fingertips! :lol: ah ... how come I always thought Harry was in the patient office?
