Here's the very first look at the AMT-AutoWorld's 1st kit!

Here's the very first look at the AMT-AutoWorld's 1st kit!


Associated Model Press- Dateline April 1st

With the sell outs of every release of the ancient AMT-ERTL promo based '64 Ford kit over the last fifteen to twenty years was there any doubt that the big Ford was a viable, (Competition) Proven subject for a new full detail kit?

The new kit departs from the original kit in that it has opening doors, hood and trunk with full trunk and underhood detail and door jamb and hinge detail. To facilitate the building of the race version, body chrome trim, seats and exhaust system are seperate parts and the racing option pieces look like a small version of Holman Moody's parts department with roll cage, HM wheels, racing tires and through the frame exhaust system.

This is the first '64 Galaxie kit featuring the Galaxie 500 bench seat version and includes both 289 cu. in. and 427 ci. in. side oiler engines and Cruise-a-matic automatic and four speed manual transmissions. The decal sheet includes all the stock factory underhood markings, doorjamb vin plate and trunk mat along with accurate markings for the Ned Arp stock car racer from the '65 racing movie "Redline 7000" starring James Caan.

Look for this and other new and modified re-issue kits at your local hobby shop and mail order hobby dealers. This one's gonna make history.

That sounds like a great kit! Cool subject too - and with that detail I might just have to buy one! Can't wait to see what other new models they decide to tool up, as their recent new tools ('58 Edsel Pacer, '58 Plymouth Belvedere, '57 Chrysler 300C etc etc) have been nice kits.
