Tom Geiger Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 This one came my way via Mr Junior Berg of Fargo. He bought it at a show and knew I just needed to have it... so we worked out a little trade deal. It's an original build of the first release of the AMT '62 Chevy annual using the custom parts supplied in the kit. It was neat and clean as you see it, The original builder used tape to divide the colors, which are brush painted red and the original white plastic. The only work I had to do was add new dual antenni to replace the broken ones. Interior had some custom touches including the fuzzy seat transfers that came with the kit. There is a phone on the front seat and a tape recorder on the back seat. A face only a mother could love! But soooo 1962. And here she is sitting next to it's stable mate, my original 1961 Chevy custom. Remember folks, this is the folk art of our youth. And somebody has to preserve it.
Jantrix Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 I'd have left it as is too. And the Barris decal makes it even more appropriately tasteless.
disabled modeler Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 I usually find them like that and have to TRY to bring them back to factory stock again being a factory stock builder...still pretty cool.
