Snake45 Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 This is the Revell diecast Graffiti '55 Chev. Since the kit has stock front suspension and a 409, I didn't attempt to replicate the movie car exactly, I just built it the way I wanted to. It's actually OOB except I removed the front bumper and hacksawed its mounting bracket off the metal body, 'cause that's how I roll. I left out the backseat cover and roll bar, too. Fit on this thing was amazing. The only glue I used was on the engine block half and heads, and the seat backs and steering wheel. Everything else is either press-fit or screwed. I can blow it apart and re-do it easily if the mood ever strikes me. Fun build and looks good on the shelf, and that's all I really ask of a model.

It's true 1/25 and the body is VERY close in size and shape to the AMT kit. In fact, I know a guy building a good replica AG '55 Chev from the AMT kit and he's using the interior from this Revell diecast. I think this Revell kit was made around 2000. You might be able to find one on eBay.

In fact I have one of those on the bench I'm doing as a Two Lane Blacktop-ish car. (The AG and 2LB Chevies were in fact the very same car.)
