AMT Model Cars '60-62

Yup - those Styline kits didn't have opening hoods.  What frustration for this ten year old!  And they had wild customizing ("styling") pieces - front and rear clips and they needed putty to smooth them in!  Yuck.  I tried with the Corvair kit, but failed miserably.  Years later, putty became a regular part of my modeling stuff.

Hi Rick

Be nice if they would put out the '60,63 & 64 Corvair kits.

Will post back cover of this Car craft tomorrow morning.

My older brother would build those kits...then give me the 'leftovers,' the spare unused parts (from the 3-in-1 kits, I guess). I'd then use those bits, combined with cheap Hawk and Lindberg kits from the Five-and-Dime (remember those??) -- and assorted plastic pill boxes, plastic shapes and bits I could scrounge from the house and garage -- to build my own weird sci-fi creations I generically labled 'rocket ships.' Think Gerry Anderson meets Rube Goldberg. They were mostly laughable messes, but lots of fun! 

Hi

Where we were it was Woolworth's 5 & 10 cent store.

Do not remember buying the kits myself.They were always given to me.

Here is the picture as promised.

Today's AMT needs to put out this era Chrysler Dodge Plymouths.

Have a nice day
