1961 Pontiac Ventura 2dr Hardtop ( " Bubbletop " ) by Mobeius Models

Hmmm;

 Should I say it now ? This has got to be the most complete Pontiac I,ve started on to date . Not only color call - outs for all the parts . They are all keyed to the actual car and the interior colors available with your outside color choice .

        Of course that leaves me out . Mine was different .Those of you who have this fine kit , look at the body carefully . See the side coves and the deeper one at the back . Well , imagine those areas having inset Mahogany panels . Now the Body is pearl White with a Dark Grey/Black Vinyl Top . A slight rake forward and all the other stuff left stock .

    This kit is the cat's Meow ! It took all of five minutes to find the mold lines , under a good light , then about ten to remove them . The engine parts went together almost like a snap kit ! The suspension is so well done you can modify in stock or whatever to your heart's content . Of course it's being done to reflect the new one I had in 1961.

     Sorry Again , No Photos yet ! I hope Mobeius brings out the Pontiac Bonneville .The two cars were actually two sizes with the Ventura having a shorter wheelbase and body . Lets see if they get it right .

 I always did like the " Bubble Top " cars and would like to see the 59 Buick done too .And the Olds Flattop 4 dr .        Tanker - Builder       P.S. I have real Mahogany Strips from building many wooden boats for clients . Sooo They will be on the car .
