More Vintage Model Car Ads

[unclescott58]

I love vintage advertising. Here some ads/flyers that would not have appeared in comic books, like my other thread on model ads. These seem to aimed at different audience overall than the comic book ads.

Here's one from Rewal of some kits I'd love to see make a come back.

How about some slot car racing. 

[unclescott58]

AMT was not the only advertising.

Those are neat.  Thanks for sharing guys.

Thanks a bunch!  A lot of those seem to be trade ads, aimed at retailers.  Tons of interesting info in there.  In the first ad, I'd love to find one of those '58 Chevy wagons, even if it is a "flywheel" model.

But there's only two Oldsmobile's

The trouble is that they were acetate-bodied promos and by now you could never find one that's not warped beyond recognition. If you did it would just be a matter of time. It's a terrible shame but true. Some of them still seem to bring high prices despite the warping!

Man a time machine would really come in handy, to go back to the early 60's.  Thanks enjoyed all of them.

A friend of mine has three complete AMT race tracks. One is brand new still sealed and unopened, the other two have been reconditioned and work perfectly..He's made about a dozen more cars from JoHan and Lindberg Mopar kits..Sure is fun to play with on those stormy night when the highways are nearly impassable..He lives about 30 miles from me..It sure brings back memories..They were huge money when they were released and he did pay dearly for the three he got on the Bay from the same guy..

Drooling over the 69 Ambassador and 69 Cadillac ones Scott....I love Johan snap kits too.

Wow what a blast from the past.

[bbowser]

I wonder what magazines these would have been in if not comic books?  Hot Rod, Car Craft, Motor Trend?

I've never seen these! Were they multi-piece bodies like Revell made then?

No, they were a friction drive toy/promo. One piece bodies.

I've never seen the two kits above in real life. I'm wondering if they were announced by AMT, but never produced? Like their Porsche 911 kit back in '67. And their garbage truck in the mid-1970's.
