Fabulous model this Oldsmobile (frankly, skunk!). I want the kit, for sure. $40 seems to be a fare price, depending of what's in it. I won't mind wooden parts sold with templates, but the roof must be a difficult part to cut and curve right.
Good idea, this real woody in our scale. What will be the next one? A kit to convert one of the many 1948 Ford convertibles available now into a "Sportsman" convertible?

I talked to Jerry about the idea of a kit. He said each piece has to be cut and fitted so it would be easier for him just to build the whole wood part of the vehicle. The rest - front, rear fenders, seats, etc would be the kit. You would just fit the wood body to the rest of the pieces.

Jerry and Lee,
The woody is fabulous!!!
There probably are some modelers like myself who would enjoy working with wood as a new modeling experience, provided that there is sufficient guidance in the form of templates or a scale drawing (could be rendered in a larger scale).
Your choice of kit design also depends on the skills of those available to help with the project.

This (1941 ?) Olds Woodie is just marvelous. I have some experience with the balsa wood flat beds delivered to Chevrolet and Dodge trucks in the former Stoney Mountain range, and there were no problems to make those thanks to a good instruction sheet. Dear Jerry and Lee; count me in for a sample if you choose to deliver this kit

Packard, Olds... what's the difference? They are both extinct, anyhow.

Packard, Olds... what's the difference? They are both extinct, anyhow. Dear Sirs: May be,but both have a good amount of history and very few makes around will have the respect that Packard (in terms of being a classic make) commands.
