Junkman Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) This may out-obscure them all. I did not know it exists until today. No, I don't have it (yet), no, I have never seen one in real live, no, please don't ask, because I don't know it either. All I know is the following: - It is a 1:20 scale kit of a French Berliet truck made by a company called Pistora. - It was ONLY ever available through Berliet dealerships. - Apparently, it can be built into a very attractive model: Must I have one? Let me put it this way: Is the bear a catholic? Edited July 6, 2012 by Junkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnwildpunk Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 wow they never even made a convertible during the second generation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSNJim Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 wow they never even made a convertible during the second generation Not from Chevrolet. There were several converted by aftermarket companies when they were current. I've seen a couple of them around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gray07 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 That camaro convertible would be nice to have a real one, it has a great style to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I love the coupe but the convertible of that body style looks clumsy to me. Something just looks weird to my eye where the rear fender and boot meets. Maybe it's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Sikora II Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 The LeSabre was also done as a kit by ITC that was about Hot Wheels size--approx 1/64. It's very simple but it's been reissued by Glencoe and is still available. It comes packed with a 50s Indy racer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr moto Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 The LeSabre was also done as a kit by ITC that was about Hot Wheels size--approx 1/64. It's very simple but it's been reissued by Glencoe and is still available. It comes packed with a 50s Indy racer. I saw the Glencoe kit on Ebay just the other day - it might still be available. The box said the LeSabre was 1/72 and the Indy car was 1/60 scale. The Glencoe re-issue must be a pretty obscure kit all on its own! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mademan Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I don't have this but remember seeing it on Ebay awhile back and yes,Toyota did rebadge and sell these overseas. this is a 1:32 kit. I was hoping it was a 1:24-5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Here's some more stuff I actually own. Every kids bad birthday nightmare! Actually I bid on this as a lot on eBay and it seems nobody else did! Premier Ford Anglia. Lindberg Trail blazer is actually around 1/25 scale. There actually was a 1:1. I believe this is a Premier Caddy. It looks like something Stuart Little drove! I could use parts for this if anyone has a parts car! Premier Corvair. Slightly off a bit! I don't know how anyone worked for Premier and had the nerve to get up and go there every day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSNJim Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 That '61 Falcon is definitely a suprise. Is that a four door too? That was my first reaction, too. I've got a 61 Falcon 2 door. The rear driver side window is shorter, and doesn't have the vertical bar. That box certainly looks like a 4 door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
