unclescott58 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) Very nice '61! The car looks very good in that color. Few cars would. Very nice job. One of my strange thoughts I have to share! I've always wondered why the '61 Plymouth had those weird tail lights? I believe they were stuck for ideas on what to do about the tail lights when they were designing the '61 Plymouths. Late one night a Chrysler security guard tripped while patrolling around the styling studio, and his flashlight got stuck in the rear quarter panel of the clay model for the '61 Plymouth. Next morning Exner and crew saw it, and found their solution. That's the only explanation I can figure out. Scott P.S. I think the vandals the guards there looking for that night, were responsible the '61 Plymouth's front end.

StevenGuthmiller Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 That's quite a theory Scott! A more likely explanation is that Chrysler just had some designers during that era that had a slightly "warped" sense of style! I might buy your theory if it wasn't for the fact that the '60 & '62 Plymouths were just as "bizarre", or maybe even more so than the '61. I guess, as they say, there's no accounting for taste! By the way, I have a nice old '60 Plymouth Fury hardtop kit that I built a year or so ago. I'll post some pics sometime this weekend. It's actually one of my absolute favorite builds in my collection. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) Steve, you don't even want to know my theories on the '62s. Just remember LSD was a legal drug in the US unit 1966. Scott Edited May 16, 2014 by unclescott58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovefordgalaxie Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Very cool!!! Any pictures of the underside?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 Nothing going on underneath Tulio. I don't spend alot of time on the chassis on these curbside kits. I like to focus on the pretty parts that show. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Ellis Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 It is better to pay more for something that is usable. Most bargain built ups are NG, and in the end, you buy another, or more parts to fix it. It cost you more in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 Very true Bob. They can get very expensive. I bought three AMT '58 Fords before I finally found a good candidate for restoration. Luckily, I didn't pay a huge amount for any one of them, but add them up, plus the work that needs to be done to finish, & we'll be talking a few bucks!

Tom Geiger Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 It is better to pay more for something that is usable. Most bargain built ups are NG, and in the end, you buy another, or more parts to fix it. It cost you more in the end. True, I know one guy who will buy 2 old built ups and use the best parts to build his model. Then he packages up the remains and sells it on eBay as a 'restorable'.... so if you're buying the worst of 2, you know where you're at?

StevenGuthmiller Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Although guys, I will say, I've had pretty good luck with some built ups. Some times you got lucky! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
