Tony T Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) I have to take a couple of pictures...just today in the mail got a 1965 Mercury Montcalm, two door curbside, 4 screw chassis, with front wheel drive...spinning metal disc above the chassis where the engine would be and gear on the front axle so it rolls on the floor...white walls, chrome/silver stock hubcaps...body, chassis and interior are tan/beige colour, looks moulded in that colour, interior posts melted to hold in place in the body...metal axles look splined...quick search online got nothing. No manufacturer markings I can see, appears to be 1/25 scale, front and rear bumpers chrome/silver, screws trap the front and rear bumper in place between chassis and body. Any help in identifying this gem would be appreciated! Thanks! Edited November 10, 2011 by Tony T
Eshaver Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Tony, get hold of Pat Redmond , maybe he knows something ............... Ed Shaver
Rob Hall Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Sounds like maybe an AMT coaster (i.e. motorized promo) of a '65 Mercury Park Lane (Meteor Montcalm was a Canadian equivalent).
Maindrian Pace Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Like this one? AMT Parklane Marauder friction promo. -MJS
george 53 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 I sent a complete unbuilt kit of this car to Alan Raab over at Ma's resins over two years ago now. He does sell parts of it, when he'll cast it is up to him. Maybe if ya write him about it, he'll finally find the time to cast it!
Tony T Posted November 10, 2011 Author Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) Like this one? AMT Parklane Marauder friction promo. -MJS Exactly like that one! (Except mine has a glue hunk near the driveshaft and 3 holes drilled in the centreline of the chassis) Thanks, Mike! (I don't need to post pictures now! ) Can you get a picture of the front turn signal lights? I'd like to see what they look like as mine is missing something from the ends of the front fenders (and the right taillight). Thanks, George...seems I may need a signal light or two or three...

Maindrian Pace Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Sure thing, Tony. Modelhaus should be able to fix you up. -MJS
Chuck Most Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Awesome! Shame most of those old AMT promos cannot be reissued.
Rob Hall Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Neat promo..I don't have a '65 Merc promo, but have a builtup kit from that year that I want to restore..
george 53 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Well like i said, if enough of you guys want it, give Al a call and let him know. He's pretty good about doin small orders when he has the time.
Tony T Posted November 11, 2011 Author Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) Sure thing, Tony. Modelhaus should be able to fix you up. -MJS Perfect...thanks, Mike! I found out what the chassis holes were for...it had been used for...what for it... Traffic school!! The holes were for magnets to hold it to the wall!! Cool! Edited November 11, 2011 by Tony T
