Didn't the '34 also include an engine hoist that looked a bit like a swing set?

 

I know it came in the Buick Wagon, but I have never seen it in the Pick Up

The one I have is much larger than the one on the box art. It was molded in red plastic as was an early issue of the '34.

I would like to myself…

Not a car kit, admittedly, but I picked up a kit today that had three pigeons ?

Here you go, brother Carl:

(Apologies for the somewhat hijacked thread - back to regular geegaws!)

I don't *think* this was mentioned previously, but now the animals (alligator, elephant, panda, etc.) make sense within the context of 1950's automotive fads:

...thought that cat looked familiar. It's from the old monogram piper tripacer kit...

Though the pic was scrounged from the net, I remember getting this kit in the early seventies on a trip to Spokane. Neat figures, too.

 

I've got an old amt phonograph around here somewhere amongst other doodads...

I loved this kit as a kid. I wonder if it'll ever be reissued?

Except now it's a lot harder to proclaim to the entire neighborhood how cool you are struttin' to some junky tunes nobody asked to hear.

I remember hearing Kansas' "Dust In The Wind" for the first time on someone's "ghetto blaster" on the last day of school 1978 in the quad after everyone pretty much had gone home early because of the half day schedule...

[Self Edit] and Bob Marley's "Sun Is Shining"

It was one of the most beautiful sounds I've ever heard.

So, not always a bad experience.
