s10chevypu Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Would like to know. this amt kit # 8744-200 64 Chevelle Malibu Wagon was issued back in 1964. Was it ever ReIssued any other time, or is this the 1965 Chevelle wagon we now seen over the years in other forums. Thanks for any help. Joseph
unclescott58 Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) The '64 (1964 not 1664) Chevelle wagon tooling was upgraded to make the '65. So the '64 was only available in 1964. This was a very commom thing done with most toolings where the real car had a minor facelift using the last year's body. The '65 Buick Wildcat was converted into the '66 with the incorrect for '66, '65 dashboard and interior trim. The '63 Buick Riviera was upgraded to the '64, and then to the '65, where it remains. This was a cost effective way for model companies back to offer the latest model car every year. Scott Edited July 19, 2014 by unclescott58
s10chevypu Posted July 21, 2014 Author Posted July 21, 2014 Scott, Thanks for the Info. I have the 1965 wagon, but was looking for a 1964 one to build. Guess I won't be getting one any time soon. Again Thanks Joe
