Modlbldr Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Can anyone tell me what kit these parts go to? The licence plate reads 1963. I imagine that they are to a Mopar of some sort. I love the wheels pictured in the close up and have a vision of putting them on something like a 65 Polara or a Newport. Any help? Later-

Modlbldr Posted January 18, 2015 Author Posted January 18, 2015 Thanks everyone for the help. Now to find a nice 63-66 builder to put the wheels on. Later-

I seem to remember Revell doing some metalflake translucent plastic '62 4-dr Darts (that transformed later into the Revellion ?? funny car with a Nancy dragster frame) and some Valiants in the '61-'63 period at the very least. There could have been others.

There could have been others. You're correct Wayne. I had forgotten about the Revell kits. I believe Johan gave up Dodge to MPC in '65 also. But the vast majority of Mopar kits were made by Johan prior to that. The Revell kits had slipped my mind. Revell also did a '62 Chrysler New Yorker & a '62 Imperial 4 door. I believe they did Mopar kits for '62 only, but I could be wrong. Steve

Steve SMP/AMT had Imperial annuals as well, from 1959? and up for few years... AMT also had Valiants from 1960?... Edited January 19, 2015 by Erik Smith

ChrisBcritter Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Only Jo-Han Imperials were '67 and '68.
