1984 Chevy Citation Immortalized By Modelmaker With Eye For Hooptie-Correctness

Plenty of builders of plastic car models do a pretty good job doing "weathered" kits, but most focus on romantic images of Route 66-drivin' classics rusting beautifully behind a wholesome-looking 1951 service station. I think what we really need is more super-accurate models of iconic American hoopties, and I don't just talk the talk! So, it brings joy to my heart to see that a professional modelmaker truly understands proper hooptieness. Etsy seller Classic Wrecks has quite a selection of 1:24-scale wretched beaters, hoopties, and the aforementioned Route-66-drivin'-classics in his online store. He also does custom work to order, which means I'm going to start scouring eBay for a Ford Tempo kit to be used as the centerpiece of a Shake-N-Bake meth lab diorama, set in a Muncie, Indiana vacant lot. I may need to hand over the 65 bucks that will make the Hooptie Citation mine. After all, the Citation is a cherished piece of American automotive history. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
