New "COUPE " from Galaxie ltd ?

[Greg Myers]

I've heard there may be a coupe coming from Galaxie ltd .

[Dr. Cranky]

That would be fantastic. Galaxie puts out great products. They are not as prolific as other companies, but those kits have nothing envy Tamiya et al.

A coupe version of the '48 Chev? Or something a bit more out of the blue...?

Well, I guess they are known for their '46-48 Chevys . . .

[henry57]

Wow, I hope its the 48 Chevy

I have a real 48 Chevy business coupe and would love to build a model

[tim boyd]

When Gary originally did the '48, he had it engineered in such a way that it could be used as the basis for a '41 at a later point in time, from what I recall. So....if that coupe is on the horizon, wouldn't it be killer if it was a '41 instead of a '48? (The '41 Chevy was probably the single most beautiful pre- WWII Chevy of all time, at least in my humble opinion.....TIM

I've known about the forthcoming coupe from Galaxie Ltd for months now. Yes, it is coming.

[Greg Myers]

Thanks for sharing that with the rest of us.

[mikemodeler]

Art,

Can you tell us what model year the coupe will be? I would love a '41 Chebby Coupe!

[Erik Smith]

Honestly? I could care less what year. As long as the kit is as nice as the '48, I am in!

[whale392]

I would say Art is just guessing, much like the rest of 'us' here. We have all heard the rumblings, and are wondering what they are up to. Well, Art, care to clue the class in? In Drag Racing, this is what's known as 'Put up or shut up'.

If you know Art....your outta line. If Art posts it...take it to the bank.

(check Arts credentials...they speak for themselves.)

[whale392]

I know Arts 'Credentials', that is why I made the comment, thank you.

Now, as stated..............................................

[Dr. Cranky]

A--Gasser-ing we will go!

[crazyjim]

Never had a Galaxie kit. They any good?

[Greg Pugh]

Yeah, what year is this thing??

[Greg Myers]

I know Arts 'Credentials', that is why I made the comment, thank you.

Now, as stated..............................................

Other boards are full of this stuff. If we can't share information here what's the use in posting . especially the "Na, na, na, I know a secret" kind of stuff?

Now for the " I can't tell you because the manufactures have sworn me to secrecy excuse." it gets old.

"(Check Arts credentials... they speak for themselves.)" then let Art speak.

If that blue coupe is a '41 Chevy, then I'd like to get the kit.

I don't know Art's credentials. Where would I look?

Whale,

NOT guessing! I know the designer of the Galaxie '48 Chevy kits pretty well (and he was the designer of the legendary Aurora Racing Scenes in the 1970's, and then headed up product development at MPC from 1977 until MPC was sold to Ertl in 1986, then opening his own design firm mostly devoted to high-end diecast models, including NHRA Top Fuel dragsters and dragracing motorcycles.

He's been supplying me with tidbits of info on the Galaxie Chevy coupe for better than a year now--and the guy is most credible.

[LAone]

well ill be waiting for this as well.

i bought the sedan delivery when i first came out. i still have it, never finished it though. i will some day...

[Rob Hall]

Interesting that it's taken them so long to follow up to the two 48 Chevy kits..those came out, what, 15 years ago?

I'm hoping that this is going to happen. I loved the 46-48 Chevy coupes and owned a 48. Those three years were the best looking of that body style.

Sorry for stating the fact....if Art said it...I take it as gospel....I will not play this game anymore

No. More like 'great'.

My only misgiving about the Aerosedan and Sedan Delivery is they aren't Fords. (Right, Mike? )
