I wouldn't call this factory limousine ugly:

From the looks of the car, a person might think it was designed for an inline 12 or 16. It's nice that the car was saved.

Thanks for posting the video, Dave. The plant was a few miles East of where I grew up. It was converted into the McGraw Glass Plant and eventually razed. The factory was designed by Albert Kahn Associates.

Thank you for your help.
I apparently do not understand the process.
Take a photo or photos and save them on your computer's desktop or on an SD card or flash drive.
Reply to your comment just above mine and look at the bottom of the screen where you have a choice to "drag files here to attach, or choose files"
Click on "choose files" and you will be prompted to select a source to retrieve your files (photos) from. Choose your desktop, SD card or flash drive and select the appropriate drive option from your computer.

WWJ in Detroit has been broadcasting since August of 1920.

I've wanted to get one of these kits but to build it totally stock. Does it have the correct seats? What kit did the wheels, tires and hubcaps come from? Is there another Monogram 1/24th kit that has a stock Chevrolet inline six? Thanks.

WJR in Detroit is another clear channel, 50,000-watt station. It has been around since 1922.

I've used Elmer's white glue since 1965. It's water soluble in case you mess up and get it on places where it doesn't belong. Unlike model glue, it doesn't melt the plastic. It dries clear, too. A bonus is if you ever decide on a color change or have mastered painting and want to redo it, it's a lot easier to disassemble the model without damaging anything.

A person should probably wear a hazmat suit to inspect it!

It looks like the canvas top insert is missing, so I can only imagine what the wooden roof structure looks like. The rear door looks so small that only a child could use it. I hope someone is looking for one of these to restore.

The identical pieces were also used on the Toronado and Eldorado. It's one of the worst GM designs ever and should have been made of metal. I wish someone would make these. I'm thinking of having a shop fabricate these hinges in metal for my Eldorado.

Gary…
There is a chain restaurant with many locations in Florida called Fords Garage. They are licensed by FoMoCo. They use a similar set up for their napkins…..blue shop rags placed within worm style hose clamps. One of the great auto related items in the restaurant. There are also Model As hanging from the ceiling as well as parked outside. On top of the car theme displays, the food is very good also.
Happy birthday!
Kevin
There's a Ford's Garage in Dearborn, too, with several Model As parked outside. Lots of good food and alcohol, too.

Yes, it's blue... even the football uniforms... thanks for the correction
We had a lot of good times at football games in the early-to-mid 1970s. Imagine students paying only $24 for 6 games! There were some interesting 1960s American cars in Ann Arbor back then, but many foreign cars, too.

Lewis,
That's a problem on the last generation of Riviera. I've used a small amount of contact cement on the back end of the rubber strip to reattach it to the molding.

I never would have thought of collecting fuse containers, but those are really interesting. Thank for posting!

You must be cruising the back rows of the used car lots! Where do you get all of these, Jeff?
