Renwal Revivals- a cult following

[Bugatti Fan]

You could be right Casey. Atlantis seem to be resurrecting quite a lot of old kits. The Ex Merit/SMER Alfa Romeo and Talbot Lago come to mind.

I have a couple of their 1/12 1965 Mustang fastbacks but not enough to build one. I do know that the Revell issue is the same tooling.

I first learned about these kits back in the early 70’s. Too late to easily find and buy them. I’ve been lusting for all 7 ever since. Maybe I’ll see them and get them in the afterlife?

Sadly, the box art looks better than the kits. I'd like to have the Mercer and the Jordan.

[Scott Colmer]

I can't decide between the Jordan and the Stutz. Probably the Jordan.

I have the Stutz, though it could do with a little restoration.  The thing about the kit that really impressed me at the time was just the whole idea of making updated versions of old classics.  I think I spent that whole summer with books of old cars and a stack of paper drawing up modern versions

Cool. Any of those old drawings still around that you can show us?

This was back in the early '70s, so alas, they're all lost.
