trying to use my feeble memory to recall if it was the Gasser, either Monogram or Revell that

had a candy green or green paint job shown on the box art.

anyone remember this kit? 60-70's ?


was it something like this?

It was a series of three kits, the Willys shown, a 34 (I think) Ford 3 window coupe similar in design, and the best one of all, a Fiat Topolino, with a full 392 Hemi w/supercharger & zoomie headers. I would like to find one of the Fiats to build for nostalgia sake. They were first released in the late 60's, the example looks to be a second issue due to the photo of a complete model on the box, The first issues had box are that was very dynamic. HTH, Joel.

AMT '41 Willys, build as coupe or pickup. I have one under construction I'm trying to do as the box art green pickup.

They did a whole series of 1/32 curbside or "shell" kits that could be built for the shelf or used on slot cars. Also did a Ferrari and Lotus Formula 1 car iin this series.

Anyone ever see these 2 for sale anywhere? Had them back in the '60s when new, would love to see them again!

I have the Lotus (built) around here somewhere. Wish I had the matcing Ferarri.

There was a Thames panel truck that was green on the box art.

And I think it was molded in a lovely metallic pearlish green, too.
