Model Carnage Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 I could use a little help identifying what kits these belong to. I'm totally in the dark over the tonneau covers. Boot 1 looks like Chrysler to me Boot 3 looks like 1959 Pontiac but I have not yet checked. Clueless about the others but pretty sure that the locating pins make them 1958-1962 annuals Thank You !
StevenGuthmiller Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) The tonneau covers are a little tricky.Custom pieces from early 60s kits. I know I've seen them before, but I can't recall where.2 of the boots look very familiar to me.I think #5 is from a Johan '68 Cadillac.#4 looks pretty generic, like it could have been used on several different kits.It looks very much like the one on my AMT '60 Mercury.#6, '58 Pontiac or Chevy?

Model Carnage Posted February 25, 2017 Author Posted February 25, 2017 #4 IS very close to a 1960 Mercury but the wrinkles are not quite right. Maybe 1960 Ford Sunliner?
Can-Con Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 4 MIGHT be '60 Edsel, I'd have to dig mine out to check.2 is '64 Ford. Note the humps to clear the seat backs, not on the 1/1 car.
Model Carnage Posted February 25, 2017 Author Posted February 25, 2017 OK, #3 is 1959 PontiacI tried #6 on a 1958 Pontiac tub and the pins don't fit the hole pattern. Although you can see it has the dip in the middle of the boot to fit 1958 Pontiac & Chevrolet back seats
gtx6970 Posted February 26, 2017 Posted February 26, 2017 I have about every 58 to 64 amt/ johan/mpc conv kits. I'll doling in and see if I can name all the top boots tomorrow.
