1964 Dodge Polara HT (JoHan)

[1959scudetto]

Back in 1984, I bought a JoHan 1964 Dodge Super Stock* (picture is from the internet), but didn't want to make it a quartermile racer. So I built some sort of stock version, swapping the wheels with some found in my parts box (probably from amt) - spray-painted with leftover rattle cans - chrome trim is silver paint:

 

Here's the class of '64:

Helmut, all are very nice, very well done

Nice collection. I really like the unusual color scheme you put on the Dodge, especially the darker shade of green; really beautiful. I have to say, though, for me your 64 Mercury takes "Best In Show". Is that the AMT Marauder kit?

Thanks, Rusty - yes it is the '64 Marauder from amt (mid 80's reissue) - my fist excessive use of bare-metal foil!

Very cool car and I love the color combo choice. Good job!

I like the wheels, it changes the look from grocery getter to a decent looking muscle car with that body style. Cool colour too.

Thanks, Bob - I wanted to keep mostly stock with a decent street machine look (wheels/tires)

Thank you Gareth, the wheels came from the parts box, and the colors were leftover rattle cans. I've been inspired for the side-stripe by the picture on the kit box - and then I used that paint for the roof also...

Interesting treatment on the Dodge. Looks very much like a high school kid's car from the '70s. Nice job on that.

Thank you, Anders - but all my builts are far away from yours!

Nice, especially the photo of the '64s lined up.  I still use Bare Metal Foil as little as necessary, especially with Molotow out now.  Tolle Arbeit, Helmut!
