Weren't the '39 Chevy Coupe and Sedan Delivery in the series, too?

[Greg Myers]

There was a "Special Interest Series "

Those look cool! I'd like to see them reissued this way again. They're so 70s.

Be interesting to see how the builders here rate these in comparison to other kitted versions. I've heard the 36 coupe holds its own against others.

I have had all these kits at one time or another. In my opinion, among the best from Monogram. Simple, to build and look great.

[Mr mopar]

And the one that I can't seem to get the Sweet "t"

[Reegs]

Not a 1/24 person, but for these I surely would be.

Here's one I'm playing with right now.  Original issue, check out the tire wells on the front fenders... some kid chopped it and otherwise made a mess. Time to clean it up!

The '36 is very nice, and the rest, though a little simple and low-parts-count, are very well proportioned and can make outstanding models.

The '34 is BY FAR the most accurate 3-window of this particular car ever kitted.

Nope, this series started in '72 or '73.  The Chevy kits didn't yet exist.

Monogram got the '36 grille more correct than AMT's.  Theirs tucks under a bit at the bottom while AMT's doesn't.  Monogram's alternate cabriolet body style was more correct than AMT's roadster version (roadster doors aren't the same length as a 3W coupe; cabriolet doors are much closer if not the same length).  

The '34 coupe kit in this series initially included the cabriolet parts.  Later the cabriolet was released as a separate kit (different color, in its own box); the coupe kit then had the cabriolet parts removed and was reissued in a slightly smaller box.

All of these were molded in multiple colors (body matched the box illustration, chassis parts were black, some kits had a third color for interior parts or the Woody body).  Like the old Auto World catalogs used to say, "you don't have to paint it if you don't feel like"...
