Disappointing news since they were supposedly going to make some improvements to the tooling.

A '70 or '71 Sport Fury GT would be an interesting kit subject.

here it is:

a 23-foot competition roadster pickup?

My uncle worked at Ford and stored his 1950s promos under the basement stairs. Some actually did not warp. I bought some and sold the rest for him in 1978. You can find a decent '55 with patience.

The only "Aluminum Model Toy" AMT produced before switching to injection-molded plastic for 1949 was the 1946-1948 Ford Fordor sedan, which came out in 1948 and was a diecast 1/25th scale model. For 1949, AMT produced the Ford Custom and Plymouth 4-door sedans.

I'm guessing that those putting on the show don't contact the moderators on this forum.

correct; the '63 Ford truck promo had the front and rear license plates updated for '64 and '65; another weird situation as with the '66 Impala SS and Wildcat using the '65 interior

I think this is what was made: promos: '60 & '61 four-door, '62 coupe, '63 coupe & convertible, '64 coupe & convertible kits: '60 four-door, '61 coupe, '62 coupe, '63 coupe & convertible, '64 coupe & convertible

It would be interesting to compare sales figures for car kits vs. Star Trek vs. 1/18th scale diecast.

That looks to have 1936 wheels.

I never noticed that before, so I just looked at the brochures for both years. I considered ordering an '87 Monte Carlo SS but didn't like the idea of decals cracking and shrinking, so I ordered an El Camino instead.
