What about the SMP/AMT annual kit? Not that he'll ever actually find
one - or be able to afford it if he does ... ;^)

    An ambulance? I grew up being toted around in our red-and-white
Chieftain wagon and have fond memories of that dinosaur until we got our
'67 Vista Cruiser...
    An ambulance?

    Sheesh...

I'm surprised there are that many. I wasn't saying that the annual kit
is exactly what he wants; I was adding another possibility that, like
yours, is *close*. FWIW, the 'motorsports barber' I use had a couple
of builtups (OK; 'gluebomb' is more accurate) of the '58 kit that he
recently sold to another modeling pal of mine which is one way, among
several, that I know they exist.

IIRC, they were the 2-dr. hardtop and the convertible. IF there ever
were a 4-dr. hardtop it would have been the promo. Made out of acetate
plastic, those are likely to be somewhat warped. What little info I
have on '58 promos suggests only the above two were made. On top of
that they would have been Bonnevilles, not Chieftains.

Check this site and follow the links to model car stuff. There are a lot of
aftermarket companies to drool through :-)
