StevenGuthmiller Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) This is an original issue Johan annual I picked up a couple of years ago. It has become one of my favorite curbside builds. Ironically, The '60 Plymouth wasn't really even on my radar screen of kits to pursue. I happened across this one, (a restorable built up) @ a decent price & decided, why not. When I decided on the colors, I wasn't really sure if they would work well together. Immediately after painting, I felt like I had made a mistake. The colors didn't seem to go well together, but as the build progressed, it either grew on me, or it wasn't that bad in retrospect. Either way, I love it now. Built basically box stock, it's painted in 1959 Cadillac "Hampton Green" & 1956 Ford "Meadow Mist Green". Reasonable facsimiles to factory "Chrome Green" & "Spring Green". I did add a set of Modelhaus Chrysler wires & a set of clear red tail lights from the Plymouth wagon kit. Also did a correct "clear" steering wheel & did the seats with some of the decals from "Scale Motorsports". Steve Edited April 24, 2018 by StevenGuthmiller

exnyman Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 It's gorgeous, Love it! I love green so I think you picked the perfect color combination!
bbowser Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Beautiful model Steve, the colors look perfect for 1960!
bbowser Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Who said Cadillac had the biggest fins? Man that thing is big!
StevenGuthmiller Posted May 17, 2014 Author Posted May 17, 2014 Thanks Guys! I was never really a big '60 Plymouth fan, but you have to admit, You'd never miss one going down the street! Steve
peekay Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Another beautifully built Johan rarity, Steve. Here's my version of the more common wagon - hope you like it.
StevenGuthmiller Posted May 17, 2014 Author Posted May 17, 2014 Very nice Peter!! I've had one of these kits laying around for probably 25 years. Like I said, I've never been a '60 Plymouth fan & I'm not much of a wagon fan either. Two strikes against it! But I did need a '60 Plymouth to round out the collection, so the Fury was the obvious choice for me. Great job on the wagon Pete!! Steve
unclescott58 Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) Both Plymouths look great! I really like the color combination on the hardtop. It looks right. The wagon look great too. I'd like to see more photos of it. But since it's done by another builder it should probably be a separate post. As much as I dislike '61 Plymouths, I love the 60's. I think front looks a lot better. And I love the fins. Plus you could still get the toilet seat trunk lid on the 1960 Plymouths. Scott Edited May 19, 2014 by unclescott58
Agent G Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 Yet again you post photos of the real car hoping to make us believe you built it. This one is super sweet for sure. G
