Revell SSP kit.  Engine wired and plumbed.  Scratch built starter solenoid, wiper motor, hinges also scratch built (to make it more realistic looking).  Scratch built servo motors on underside of trunk lid.  Added trunk mat with correct plaid pattern, aluminum tail pipe extensions.  Refinished in colonial white and wedgewood blue lacquer, DuPont urethane clear coat.

A very striking 1950s two color paint scheme and the roof retracts, too !

Beautiful job on the kit !

Nice!  I remember that car very well, and was really impressed with the folding hard top.  I was 18 when that car came out and dearly wished I had the money to buy one!

It didn't market too well, though.  Too many mechanical problems, no trunk space, little things like that.  I don't believe very many were made.

Great job on the model.  Right now, I'm building a Batmobile, another car I really wanted back in those days.  I'm just a big kid....

Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...
