What year? |
Oddly shaped on one end, must be from the mid 80's. |
Something tells me the design of the frontal area is much, much older than that. |
Not according to my kids, if it's from the 80's it's 2 days older than dirt

Not a kit. This was a factory built production car built between 1955 and 1959, but I haven't found any production numbers yet.
