On a Facebook group called Old Farts Of Model Building, we are having a New Year's 3 month Group Build of any vehicle in the 1950's. This is my entry, and if I have time, I may build the older kit I have with the Hardtop, time will tell. Here is the Convertible I will be building and what's in the box and the box of the older kit too...

These are pretty cool kits. I've built the convertible and the Fleetline fastback sedan. Didn't have too much trouble with either one. I still have the BelAir hardtop to build someday.
