is that del rio wagon going to be a new tool?

what the heck is a del rio wagon anyhow? some goofy quasi "western" motif trim package?

Very nice, as I've said a few years ago that the wagon and an Ranchero would follow Revell's '57 Ford Custom. It'll be the only one of the bunch that I'll buy, and I'm still bettin' on a Ranchero in the future as well.

Oh wow on that wagon - looking forward to seeing the Country Squire/Country Sedan/Courier/Edsel Roundup conversions folks will be building. The one option I'd like to see added: a rack full of surfboards!

That '57 Del Rio wagon looks very interesting. But now I'm thinking of kitbashing it on an AMT '56, even if the resultant model would be a "phantom"....

The '57 wagon is neat. Personally I think the Nomad is a bit more attractive but it will nice to have another 50s wagon, even better that it looks like it will include a police option.

On a casual once over, all I see is the issue mentioned earlier. The test shot has the earlier kit's rear bumper guards. That's gonna make opening the tailgate part if the hatch rather inefficient...

Some kit came with the Edsel station wagon taillights and bezels as a customizing option. I just can not, off the top of my head, remember which kit it was. I don't think it was AMT's '57 Ford? I know I have a set somewhere in my collection.

Yes, some of the older issues of the AMT '57 Fairlane had custom taillights similar to the '58 Edsel wagon parts. IIRC, the AMT '57 was a possible reissue this or last year but didn't happen..

I , too , am quite looking forward to the 1957 Ford Wagon and its hopeful Ranchero .

Truthishly , a 1958-1959 Ford Fairlane , wagon , and-or Ranchero would be my favourite ...

'57 Del Rio + Tamiya Black Gloss + Skull decals = WIN.

Want that BADLY.

Me too! Gotta have it! Now! The plan is to build the chassis from the '57 sedan with the engine of my choice (FORD, of course). I expect the floorpan to be different (aside from the body), but not much else. I can get a head start on this now. I can't wait!

The best thing it will be agreat doner for Jimmy Flintstone's Country Sedan and Country Squire bodies, and certainly the 1959 Country sedan.
