Olds 442

[Cadetsharp]

My dad owned an 1965 olds cutlass 442 and I have been trying to find a 1:24 or 1:25 model kit to make him for fathers day. I can't find one and I was wondering if anybody knew of any.

AMT made a 66. I think Lindberg made something along those lines tho.

I just looked through the modelhaus catalog to no avail.

AMT did a 66, and the lindberg is a 67, which is completely different then a 65.
all I can say to you is to watch EBAY, AMT made a 64 F-85 kit. (442 was an option, and the AMT didn't have it), There was no 65 Olds F-85 kit made, The original AMT 64's go for big bucks on EBAY, garage cast makes a 64 F-85 transkit which uses the AMT 65 GTO kit as a base. this is the closest thing to a 65 442 out there (IIRC there where little changes between the 64 and 65), here a link to garage cast, and a pic of the resin transkit

Garage Cast will be a no go, unless you have some info I don't have. The website remains, but have you tried to contact them? I think they shut down over a year ago.
