Swifster Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 So a Hobby Lobby opened in Lakeland yesterday and I paid a visit today. With a handy, dandy 40% off coupon, I bought the AMT '66 Olds 4-4-2. Looking at the package, it appears this kit comes without the Oldsmobile optional hood and deck stripes. Anyone away of who may sell these in black or white? These were the optional two-tone colors for the roof and I plan on doing the two-tone. Suggestions? Hints? Sounds like? Any help would be appreciated. Oh, and no, there was no '53 Hudson...
Junkman Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) Stripes were not available for the 1966 4-4-2. The first stripes appeared for 1968, the vertical ones on the front fenders. The two wide stripes on the hood became available for 1970, but only on the W-cars. If we omit the Hurst editions and pace car replicas, no decklid stripes were ever available on 4-4-2s.

Swifster Posted October 30, 2011 Author Posted October 30, 2011 Christian, thanks for confirming that. I've actually seen a couple with painted stripes but I could never find info one way or another. Now to decide on a color...
