What is a ghetto blaster ? Lol

To be sometimes carried upon ones shoulder  as you walk down the street. It once was a thing.

And thus the demise of the Ghetto Blaster. Technology marches on.

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.

...which originated(?) in the MPC 1969 Pontiac Grand Prix kit?:

 

Still found in the MPC 1970 Pontiac Grand Prix kit:

 

...and some parts still remained in the MPC 1972 Pontiac Grand Prix kit:

 

With those Skis it's a good thing they included the Stretcher and Crutches. Do you know if the Canoe is included in the reissue of the Pontiac Bonneville ?

It is not, and seems to be lost forever.

Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland offered it.  May still do.

The Revell Carrera RS also had a clipboard, with a flashlight molded into its surface, if I remember right.

Thanks, Casey, that was one of the photo links that the TinyPic organization ate up when it folded.

I am working on a pair of Jeepsters and found six rifles and a surfboard!

 

And in making your own accessories, I created the baby car seat to match the one we owned when my kids were little. I started with a small bucket seat from the Deora kit. I sanded the sides flat and added the side pieces from Evergreen sheet. The buckle was made from two small pieces of Evergreen strip, with edges rounded. Add two strips of ribbon and you have a convincing car seat. Teddy bear was an edible cake decoration piece, painted appropriately.

Accessories make a lot of sense when the trunklid (boot) is designed from the beginning to open and a separate trunk compartment is provided, too, as in the JO-HAN 1965 Rambler American:

AMT 1964 Falcon hardtop has a bunch of rally equipment; #6, the Rally Equipment Board, has lots of stuff neatly molded in relief (plugs, hoses, wiper blades, lower control arm, etc.):

The Aurora/Revell Aston-Martin DB-4 also came with a 4-piece set of fitted luggage for the trunk.  (Pic stolen from an old Worthpoint listing).

The Bonneville coupe was only car with the canoe IIRC. 1969-70

Also noticed a few old time items in the MPC Beverly Hillbillies kit:

I remember that one of the Pontiacs had a fifth wheel, clear fuel bottle, traffic cones, and either a clip board or dash mounted monitoring instruments- I forget if Road and Track or Motor Trend did the performance evaluations with this equipment. I also have two suit cases filled with molded in tools from the MPC Ford J car (Lemans required "luggage"). Revell offered a parts pack of display accessories in chrome with tools, creeper, engine stand, stanchions and bases, and chrome "rope" to thread through the stanchions. It was so stiff the stanchions had to be glued down or they would go every which way!

The AMT 1965 Pontiac Grand Prix had the fifth wheel, clear fuel test bottle, test gauges, tape recorder and traffic cones.  The reissue that came out a few years ago included this equipment.
