Modelhaus conversion is the 442 Version . I have this as a WIP . The '68 MY 442 is a Stand Alone Model . IIRC the F-85 was dropped by the '66 MY ? Thanx ..

I've got the Modelhaus parts and they are first rate!

Also, I worked at an Oldsmobile / Cadillac dealer back in the 70's, the last car I saw badged as an F-85 was a 1973 A body (same as a Cutlass "S"). It even had a 3 on the tree!.

Ordered the Bandit Resins 68, wanted to do a post coupe ramrod 350 anyway. Not sure of last year F-85, but I own a 71 F-85 post coupe drag car.

I could use some white RamRod fender decals for my 68 if you find someone to make them.

Modelhaus comes with a hood, grilles both front and rear bumpers, plated, and the proper separate red tailight lens's. Just fill in the openings on the trunk and quarters, and your good to go. It's a VERY easy conversion.

except the interior patterns between 1968 and 1969 share nothing alike

[w451973]

Actually 68 and 69 interiors are alot alike except 68 does not have headrest and the ignition is on the dash instead of the column like 69 and up. You might be thinking 69-70 being different.

Den's right. I have both 68 and 69 JoHan 442's and the pleats on the seat bottoms and backs extend to the sides on the 69 but NOT as far on the 68 seats. Little thing, but you COULD fake it inna pinch, they're THAT close.

IIRC, my dad's '68 cutlass had head rests.
