This one's on my short list of reissues I gotta have ! You won't be disappointed. 2 sets of slicks and 4 tampo printed ww's + a real nice decal sheet along with red and clear glass.     They retooled these custom wheels for it too  I know there's a new box art build here in my future! |

Holy re-tool Batman! This has always been an exceptional kit, even in its de-contented versions across the years. Those additions make it a virtual certainty I'll have to get another one even though I'm well supplied already. Those tires alone, now that Modelhaus is gone, are almost worth the price of the kit. Yikes! Whatever the licensing fees Round 2 has had to pay to brand their tires, they've done it right and it must count as a marketing advantage over Revell's releases in attracting the modeler's dollar.

I agree 100% here B. Especially with (in my opinion) All of Revells' recent "proportion" issues on their new tools. To me, no excuse for that. |

The parts looked identical to the new reissue except for the pad printed tires and decals , and it was $59 + shipping so I passed . That's a bit much for the box ! |

I fused quite a few these together with a tube of Testors when I was a kid. Great art for sure. While we're on obscure art/kits...how 'bout a few of Premier's offerings Don't think I had any of these except maybe the Buick...I have a vague memory of it from my Grandfather when I was about 2...that would have been in '56.       |
