True, As Harry says, it looks like it is falling out at the top of the frame.

Those Old Vent's pivoted on an axis/axle.

I remember them as Manual on 49 & 54 Fords 54 was a Skyliner!

and Crank on 65 Wildcat!

Wish I had those back now!!!

Also, The Vents on AMT's 50 Ford Convert kit can be left loose to pivot!!

I did that on my first built. Tournament Of Thrill's issue to tell you how long ago!!

I Do Like this!!

I have the Buyer's Choice #1 issue, & an Original Convertible Annual.

Might try the open doors on one of them!!

These are often over looked but very cool. This one is modeled after the real deal that sold at Mecum. The AMT re issue annual has doors opened and the frame and pan separated for detailing such as exhaust and rear axle and suspension. The engine is from the kit with "dealer added" twin 4-barrels. Paint is Testor rattle can Turquise over white. Thanks for looking.

What color did you paint your engine?
