hi, i have a 1968 caprice factory 427 woody wagon and i am looking for any toys/models/promotional items/ literature.thanks for your help this is the only toy i found so far...it is a Banda and not too accurate
There is a lot left to be desired on detail but WOW that is cool! I've never seen this ever, what scale/size is it? I do like it!
^^^ What Tedy said! I haven't seen that one. Your lucky to have found anything. Not much love given to our wagons from toy manufacturers.
R&R Resin makes a 1/25 scale resin 68 Impala wagon kit (they make Impala wagon kits for every year from 60-70). My guess is that it would require purchasing a plastic 1/25 scale model car kit of a 60's full size Chevrolet coupe to get all the parts needed to complete the model (engine, wheels, radiator, firewall, etc). http://www.resinrealm.net/Star/RRGalleries/RR_All.html Here are pictures from a vendor that sells the kits, and a link to the vendor. http://resinrealm.net/GALLERIES/RRGallery/ As you'll see, they have alot of Ford, GM and Mopar wagon kits available.
Besides original sales brochures, don't forget to look for vintage magazine ads and magazine road tests. You might get lucky and find a road test article with your wagon in a 67 or 68 issue of a car magazine like Motor Trend, or Car Life magazine, but the magazines that frequently seemed to prefer comparing station wagons were Popular Science, and Popular Mechanics magazines. Historic Video Archives has the original vintage 1968 Chevrolet model year introduction promotional film. It covers all the new 1968 Chevrolets including wagons. Its an hour long color motion picture DVD. It was probably used to show dealers and sales staff the features of the new models. http://www.historicvideoarchives.co...cks-factory-promotional-films-and-commercials The video that Historic Video Archives has, is NOT the filmstrip-like video that can be found on Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3h1uPm4O4c
