looking for "the one"
Posted by total american patriot on Wednesday, November 24, 2010 10:17 PM

I'm not one to talk about cars, but all of a sudden i started being obsessed with 50s 60s cars. What'll be a cool car for me?

I was thinking about the 1962 Impala but its too boxy, a bit rounder around the front and it'll be perfect

The 1960 Ford Starliner has some similarty in appearance to the Impala, but is more rounded. The AMT kit is suposed to be very nice, with good detail and lots of options.

I like AMT's '56 Ford Victoria, or the classic '57 Chevy.

The '59 Impala or El Camino is nice too.

I'm partial to the '56 Chevy BelAir. I think Revell has a kit of that one, and they have a pretty good reputation with their car models. Gotta love the two-tone paint on the old Chevys!

The 69 Dodge Daytona is the coolest car ever made.

My second recommendation would be a Super Bee or Road Runner/.

If you like the older cars you can't beat the '57 Chrysler 300 or the Edsel Pacer.

You wanty "round" in the 50s/60s look at the 1958 Chevy Impala, or the 1962 Thunderbird by AMT/ERTL.

You'll get over it.  It's not contagious.
