Never knew MPC made an H-body Buick Skyhawk:

[Junkman]

This may out-obscure them all. I did not know it exists until today.

No, I don't have it (yet), no, I have never seen one in real live, no, please don't ask, because I don't know it either.

All I know is the following:

- It is a 1:20 scale kit of a French Berliet truck made by a company called Pistora.

- It was ONLY ever available through Berliet dealerships.

- Apparently, it can be built into a very attractive model:

Must I have one?

Let me put it this way: Is the bear a catholic?

wow they never even made a convertible during the second generation

Not from Chevrolet. There were several converted by aftermarket companies when they were current. I've seen a couple of them around.

That camaro convertible would be nice to have a real one, it has a great style to it.

[cobraman]

I love the coupe but the convertible of that body style looks clumsy to me. Something just looks weird to my eye where the rear fender and boot meets. Maybe it's just me.

The LeSabre was also done as a kit by ITC that was about Hot Wheels size--approx 1/64. It's very simple but it's been reissued by Glencoe and is still available. It comes packed with a 50s Indy racer.

Revell also made a Firebird Formula convertible that's very similar to the Camaro kit shown.

could you re-post the image Christian,It didn't show up.Just a broken image picture.

[Junkman]

That's weird, because I can see it on several different computers, and I can't find anything wrong with the link.

[Austin T]

Well what is it so I can google it? I can see all the other pic's you posted just fine,just not this one for some reason.

[Junkman]

It's a kit by ToHo of a 1960s Nissan President in 1/24 scale.

[Rob Hall]

This one? Never heard of the Toho brand.

[Junkman]

That's the one.

[jbwelda]

i couldnt see the first one then and i cant see either of them now. maybe you have to have some kinda account somewhere?

edit nevermind, i can see it when i paste the url into my browser and i can see that last one. kind of a letdown actually!

I saw the Glencoe kit on Ebay just the other day - it might still be available. The box said the LeSabre was 1/72 and the Indy car was 1/60 scale. The Glencoe re-issue must be a pretty obscure kit all on its own!

[Skydime]

The world's slowest gasser I like that..It's cute.

[kratvmnd]

I don't have this but remember seeing it on Ebay awhile back

and yes,Toyota did rebadge and sell these overseas.

[Tom Geiger]

Kit box circa 1949 and how it actually built up!

[Foxer]

Looks like a '49 Ford to me!

this is a 1:32 kit. I was hoping it was a 1:24-5

[Tom Geiger]

Here's some more stuff I actually own.

Every kids bad birthday nightmare! Actually I bid on this as a lot on eBay and it seems nobody else did!

Premier Ford Anglia.

Lindberg Trail blazer is actually around 1/25 scale. There actually was a 1:1.

I believe this is a Premier Caddy. It looks like something Stuart Little drove! I could use parts for this if anyone has a parts car!

Premier Corvair. Slightly off a bit! I don't know how anyone worked for Premier and had the nerve to get up and go there every day!

[SSNJim]

That '61 Falcon is definitely a suprise. Is that a four door too?

That was my first reaction, too. I've got a 61 Falcon 2 door. The rear driver side window is shorter, and doesn't have the vertical bar. That box certainly looks like a 4 door.
