Thx.  The orange 'vert is stock as is the HT.  The purple used all the custom parts from the kit.

SteveG: Any updates regarding the upcoming '68 Coronet Hardtop release; can we still expect release in March/ April 2024?

I'm going to have some first half '24 items on display at the upcoming DAAM show next month but you'll have to wait and see what those are.

I haven't even got hold of the '68 convertible yet and already there's talk of a hardtop! R2 been knocking it out of the park these last couple of years.

  Is the DAAM show this weekend?   If it is , anyone posting pics of the 68 Coronet R/T prototype?

IIRC, tomorrow.

Hopefully some pics tomorrow from the DAAM show. I see where the hardtop is being listed at some retail sites as having a trailer with it... wondering if it'll be the same trailer that was inside the convertible kit or maybe a different trailer?

Same trailer I’d assume.  There are pics of it from the DAAM show with the trailer on FB.

Reissue?  Been a while since it was last out.

Anyone at the DAAM show today;  can you get closeups of the 68 Coronet and Charger samples and post here?  Thanks.

What’s between the Charger and the Ford pick up?

I just hope the '68 Coronet hard top  does not have the convertible interior  ?

It's a new compilation of selected parts from both the original AMT/Ertl Charger R/T kit and the followup Charger Street machine kit, the latter of which has not been reissued to the best of my knowledge.  Pictures later....TB

Went with my Brother today, always enjoy this show. Boy it was crowded and lots of vendors.

 Spotted the 68 Coronet right when I walked in.
