The 1955 Pontiac Chieftain 2 door sedan came in two models...the base 860 and upscale 870 model. 1955 was a great year for color and this car sported no less than 12 available solid colors and a whopping 34 two-tone combinations. We supply you with all of the major components to turn your donor AMT 55 Bel Air (not included) into a detailed curbside model of either Chieftain. If you don't already have one, they're available through Hobby Heaven or right here at eBay. Please note that our kits need a minimal cleaning since no mold release agent is used in the casting process, and they are crisp and clean. Typical of resin, some sanding and trimming for proper fit may be required during assembly. We also have included a builders detail sheet printed on Kodak "Hi-Gloss" 44# presentation stock that shows all of the colors, both solid, and two-tone as well as photos of the real thing to help you with building. Just in case you want to order paint to match one of the colors on the chart, we also include an order form from MCW. Click HERE to see what others say about our kits.
As a "Freebie" the kit also includes enough of our new window glazing material to do several models... That's it shown below on one of our 1957 Chevrolet Sport Sedans. This one was built and detailed by Bob's Curbside 66. More photos and details are available at The Resin Realm. ...and some of our new "Chrome Trim" mylar stock for making interior and exterior trim pieces. It's real chrome plate, only a few thousandths thick, and is great for mirrors, dash, headliner and door trim, p/u bed strips and lining...you'll probably find a gazillion other uses for it. Unlike BMF it's chrome on both sides and has no adhesive coating. It's also not as flexible as BMF, but then again, it's not as fragile either. The last two pix tell the story.
