1/25 904-170 AMT My Mother the Car - 1928 Porter - With Paint / Brush / Cement
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good+
In 1965 the ABC network came out with a TV series called 'My Mother the Car', in which a man's mother came back to life as a 1928 Porter. To capitalize on the TV marketing, AMT was allowed to produce and market this '1928 Porter' model. The TV series only lasted one season, which eliminated future sale for AMT. The molds were quickly put aside and forgotten. However, decades later, modeling collectors ended up with a very rare kit and one that is highly detailed as well. It features a rolling chassis build up just like an actual car from that period, detailed engine, realistic layered spoked wire wheels, detailed front & rear suspension and rear differential, gas tank, rear steamer trunk, removable hood, side-mounted spare, convertible top and even the dash-mounted radio that 'Mother' talked through. Molded in red, clear, chrome plate and with rubber tires. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, the original special paints (black and white), brush, factory-sealed metal tube of glue and includes decals and photocopied instructions. NOTE: the instructions are excellent quality copies; the originals are missing. NOTE: two tires & rims and the 2 spare tire halves are assembled. There is no other assembly. The convertible top, frame, engine parts and some other smaller part have been very neatly adult painted.
