Thanks for the shout out Mathew and showing your kits very awesome
No problem my brother! Thanks for the great question!
Oldest kit is a Revell coast guard cutter ship from 1955. Bought off ebay maybe 10 years ago . Coolest kit . Probably a reissue of the T rantula from Monogram . It was the first model my dad bought me at 5 y o . I ve got others ,but this car was pulled out of the box and finishwd in 45 minutes . WITH PAINT
I definitely had a feeling the Chrysler Turbine car would make the coolest kit! Thanks for sharing Matt!
Man how I would love to have those old models.
Thanks for sharing Matt! Man, that Rambler is super cool. the IMC's are such detailed kits. The turbine Car is second level! Such a neat kit.
They’re all cool Matt, but the turbine car is the best. Thanks for sharing. 😎🇨🇦
My favorite unbuilt B-52 Stratofortress 1/72 kit #8292 monogram.
Oldest kit, Italaerei CANT Z 501.
Monogram 55 Chev. Street machine #2211
Matt that turbine car is probably my favorite kit as well ❤
Great video Matt!!! My two oldest kits are a '61 Rambler h/top by Jo-Han and an AMT '62 Chevy Impala. Thanks for sharing.
Jason is a good guy I'm proud to call him my friend
The Turbine car is really cool. Chrysler made a few of them, 55 to be exact, 5 of them were prototypes and the other 50 were part of a loaner type of trial program. When the program ended, all of the cars were collected by Chrysler and destroyed, all but 9 of them that is. The remaining cars are in museums, Chrysler kept 2 of them and Jay Leno actually has one in his collection.
I don't have very many models but my oldest is an unbuilt kit of the ZZ Top Eliminator car by Monogram, 1985.
My coolest is a toss up, between my unbuilt Swindler II kit by Revell, 1989, or my built AMT General Lee, hard to choose. Good questions!!!
Very cool!
My oldest? The Revell Highway Pioneers gift sets given to my Dad and Grandfather circa 1953/1954. The one box says "Series 3", it was $4.45 back then and included a paint set, a brush, and some glue. The brush and glue are gone but the paint set is still there and the paints haven't turned solid after almost 70 years! Yes, these models are acetate and no, they're not warped.
Oldest kit I have is a first issue of Carl Caspers Paddy Wagon. I have a few from the 70s and 80s.
I have a Revell Datsun BRE 240z from 1972 sealed. I have a lot of cool kits but my newest is one of the coolest. Jr Salvinos 1971 Richard Petty Roadrunner.
My Johan kits are my oldest and favorite kits like the Chrysler Turbine. Between the kit and its way of packing. The Second one is the IMC Cougar II , that one is thanks to you Matthew. It was your video that informed me of the IMC kits
Great video Matt, it’s hard to beat the turbine car for the coolest. The IMC 48 Fords do build up great as well.
Interesting how two of your three coolest models are JoHan. The Turbine did reach production of only around 100. They were shared across the country, two to a state and rotated in six month periods. Chrysler wanted to call it the Typhoon, but AMC had come out with the Classic 770 Typhoon in 1964 to introduce their new seven main bearing Typhoon engine. Great video, though.
My oldest kit is the 1960 monogram green hornet drag/show car. And my coolest is probably the IMC ford J-car with the CLEAR body,and the AMT double kit of the King T and Wild Dream show rods.
My oldest unbuilt kit is the 1976 Revell 1/32 Corsair Baa Baa Black Sheep tv series release kit # H580. Cool enough by itself, but I think my coolest unbuilt is the MPC 1984 original first release of the Dodge Daytona Turbo Z. It was when MPC was owned by Fundimensions, and still has the Golden Wheels tokens on the side of the box, and redemption form in the box to choose and order your free kit when you have saved enough tokens. I have built several and MPC got it right with this kit. If you can find one you will have a blast building it.😁
S'cool bus dragster 😎
My three oldest kits in order would be, my 1927 Fird Model T police car by AMT, my 49 Merc and my 53 Ford Pickup. The box art on that one showed it as purple with flames but I did it as white roof and light blue body
Matt I've been told the Turbine car molds (model kit, not the promo) cost $250,000+ when they were made. Idk what was that '62 - '63? According to google 1962 dollars to now that would be worth 2.5 mil. The guy that told me that said John Haenle (who started Jo-han) promptly deposited a brick in his shorts when he learned the total cost.... lol... so you could take all that big time YT money and make your own right? Just kidding of course...
Asking these fundamental questions about ourselves, what we do, what we like is great. It's always interesting to see other peoples perspectives and enthusiasm about things we all have in common. Hearing someone explain what or why it means something to them always makes us better ourselves, and gives us a broader picture of the hobby and the people in it. Good guys give credit where it's due, good for you. Thanks for sharing
I have an 89' Corvette ZR-1 kit, which is kinda cool for the same reason, it didn't make it to production until 90'.
all of them
I guessed right!
Turbine was what I thought. I built one as a kid and have been looking for another for years. I refuse to pay exorbitant prices however.
My coolest is also the Chrysler turbine. It's a unique kit of a very unique car. 55 were made and 50 were loaned to a couple hundred people for a 2 year program. Only 9 survive and I believe there's only 2 running cars left
I'd love to SEE a Chrysler Turbine Car. A real one. A friend gave me one of the Jo-Han Turbine car kits maybe 25 years ago. Still have it unbuilt. I have some MCW Turbine Bronze paint for it, so it will get built someday.
I didn't think of the Chrysler Turbine Car as your pick for coolest. I was going to say maybe one of the LeMans race cars you have. I think they are pretty cool myself. Your number 2 pick, IMC 48 Ford was a definite pick.
Cool kits. I have build two 48 ford's and those are so cool looking cars,
My Monogram Corvette SS Hatchback, 76 issue.
I honestly thought you were going to show the MPC '69 Oldsmobile 442. The Jo-han Chrysler Turbine model is a really cool kit.
My oldest kit is an original release AMT '40 Ford sedan. Circa 1960. Actually I have 4 of them. 5 if I count the salvage kit I got last summer. This one is being rebuilt as a drag car. Blown Nailhead engine, and 1950s period correct narrow slicks. The Coolest one, is also one of the original release Ford sedans. This one will get either the 427 engine out of an original release AMT '32 Victoria, or a 312 T- Bird engine. That is what will make it cool. That and a custom mix dark purple paint job.
good question! I have to say my most unique kit is the Amtronic car kit . . . my most treasured kit is the Chrysler Turbine ( I have 3 as well, all white plastic ). It is the first kit I bought back in the 80's that I enjoy the most for the way it was puzzle packed in the box, completely filling the box. Unusually, of all the people who have reviewed the kit I have never seen my version, which is not a flatpack but a regular model car kit box. A close second for my favourite is the Silloettte with the clear trailer. Honourable mention would be the Rommel's Rod.
Rommels Rod is cool one of the first models I bought
History. The first plastic models were manufactured at the end of 1936 by Frog in the UK, with a range of 1/72nd scale model kits called 'Penguin'. In the late 1940s several American companies such as Hawk, Varney, Empire, Renwal and Lindberg began to produce plastic models.
Oldest Was SMP 63 Chevrolet Impala SS Styleline. Original 1963 Release. (My Uncle Bought it in 63)
My oldest model( not car) AMT kenworth cement mixer with tortionbar suspension. Coolest would have to be the JoHan turbine car. I got mine for 10 euros (about 10 dollars a year and a half ago. I live in Germany.
hmm. oldest, and coolest eh?...I don't think ANY of the kits I have are all that old, and in my eyes are ALL cool in their own ways. That is a tough question for me, but definitely a neat way to get people engaged.
And I ALWAYS sub to the little guy. Always. The video you made some time back about supporting the small channels was really cool, even I got some traction from it. Very cool shoutout to hotrod model cars@hotrodmodelcars9060 sir. Props.
Maybe do another video in that vein, as creators, lets show & share our list of most watched channels...
My oldest complete kit is an original 1962 amt issue of the 1957 Ford fairlane customizing kit. Still has the putty (quite stiff by now) for the "stylizing" version of the kit. My oldest built/ restoration model is the revell 1957 Ford country squire wagon from 1957
awesome matthew !
While I have since bought older model kits the 2 kits I have owned the longest are both 1/32 scale Aurora kits; the 56 Ford demo derby car and the 1934 roadster Scat Cat. I have owned both of these kits since they were new from about 1965 or 1966 and both have survived in surprisingly good condition. My oldest is probably a Highway Pioneers 1904 Rambler kit from the mid '50's which I recently completed and was a freebie because the guy that gave it to me don't like 1/32 scale kits. The coolest is much more difficult to decide as I have accumulated hundreds of kits over the years. Maybe my Mod Squad woody which is still unbuilt, although I plan to build it because that's what these things were made for!
My oldest kit is the amt 67 Ford Galaxie- I'm kind of stuck on the coolest because a good number of my kits are valuable to me
IMC Ford GT 1966 Release original Complete
Very cool video. Awesome question. I don't really collect model. I have about for and there all Mopars. I mainly collect premium 1/64 diecast. So I may have to ask the same question on my channel. Thank for sharing.
those are all cool kits
hard to pick just 3. guess mine would be for the oldest: a 51 pontiac dealer promo. for the most unique: lindberg 64 dodge 330 "color me gone" polara (the later 64 O'Connell and Ward version), it resides on permanent display in the KY Motorsports hall of fame museum , in central city, ky.. for my most favorite: my 3- 1955 johan 55 pontiac starchief dealer promos (one molded in white unbuilt in box, and 2 molded in red (one has chrome trim detail and one was left box stock). sorry for the super long story, but I don't make videos, and I love to share my work. 😎👍
My coolest is my resin 80s model resin resin kit
Mine is a 1968 issue surf trash truck
Very cool video sir, and very cool kits
I think my oldest is the original issue AMT '57 Chevy or an AMT Lincoln Continental, can't remember the year. My coolest and favorite is Revells Miss Deal Studebaker funny car. I just think it's a cool looking car for some reason. I also had a JoHan Turbine Car, which I can't remember what I did with it.😢 It's in my top 5 favorite models also.
I also own that same 1909 Cadillac model. It's a very unique way of a build with pipe cleaners for the radiator.😂
Oldest kit is easy there would only be one answer but coolest kit could change day to day depending on your feelings that day.
Nice job 👍🏿
Haha - had a feeling you would say the turbine car was the coolest!
Loving the daily uploads. Thanks for the consistent model car content
oldest - 59 johan plymouth and original amt 59 impala , koolest, imho, amt dbl dragster
My oldest and coolest model kit. 1/35 scale MRC UH-1C Huey Frog helicopter. I believe it's from early 1980s. Have 5 of them.
Very cool!
Great vid, I had a feeling it was gonna be the turbine car, awesome kit 😁
And a jo-han AMC javelin AMX original issue.
Awesome video Matt. That first from 1949 is awesome. I was nine years old when that came out. LOL. Ron
The Chrysler Turbine car price just went up...lol.😂
My oldest kit is an original issue of the AMT ‘76 Mustang II. My coolest kit, in my opinion, is the Moebius ‘67 Ford F-350 ramp truck. This a great question to toss out there. Great question from Hot Rod Model Cars. Thanks for sharing.
A mpc 1940 Ford fire chief super snap from ©1979
i Hate it when I"m right all the time. The Turbine car
Great video Matthew! Those turbine car kits are cool! I have one from years ago that i got in a box of parts, mostly complete but completely smashed to hell. Always wanted to put one together myself but the prices for a complete kit are just insane.
The Chrysler Turbine car is cool.......they built 5 prototypes and 50 cars that was given out
60 smp impala
That is an awesome Old Timers kit, I would love for you to email please sir, I also have one of those, Those are some cool cars my friend, great video, keep up the great work sir.
Yes Matthew your turbine is first issue 1965 you're 48 Ford convertible it's 1966 issue you're Ravel Stanley Steemer yes it is a different plastic to what we are used 2 Ace model have fun I never attempted one my oldest model 1962 ala cart original issue never built brand spanking new built unpainted 1962 Mercury first model I ever owned yes I have many more
Very cool!!
You are soooo wrong...Yes,they produced the Turbine car...55 of them...I would call that production,although very limited.Chrysler called them back in and almost all of them were crushed...A few survive...Jay Leno has one of those few. They were built to analize feasabilty of turbine engines...It didn't fly...
Does it have to be a car?
I would say no, anything you have.
Jay Leno has a running and driving turbine car.
