![]() Today's car is Maisto's '62 Chevy Biscayne. ![]()

![]() The Biscayne was basically your no frills entry level full size car for the bowtie brand. This was a casting that Jedimario sent me last week in a trade. Thanks Rob! This Maisto version represents one of the few full size wagons to be done in small scale from the 60s. It's not quite stock though. This casting also constitutes the one required bowtie casting for the week for a certain Chebby guy who lives in the vast unknown parts of the world generally called Canada.

I think there is too much going on there. I prefer the stock version a lot more. |

Can you see what I'm saying?

I rather like all the bells and whistles on it...I do prefer the purple way over the blue too! |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
There is at least ten different versions of this casting by Jada, a good one to collect as I found out from my local friend who has eight of them. I think I may have three, and thought that was a lot. Many of them are only available with tow rigs/trailers, or on the back of rollback tow trucks, or some at Target in the exclusive RED series All Stars. If you ditch the oversized wheels, this wagon starts to look okay in scale. Not perfect, but better. God forbid the bangers find out that you can easily make it look realistic with a wheel change. Heck, they already know it, I'm sure!

Oh, bad Friday evening....first I saw TWO VOLVOS in one day near work!!! Eeeeek!!!!! I usually don't see more than one a wekk no matter where I go! Second, I check Swifty's G, and here he shows me a bangered Biscayne!! Ouch! Have to admit, see how much better the overall look is with smaller wheels?? Edited by ivantt, Aug 28 2009, 10:05 PM.

You'd expect any less? ![]() On a side note- not only smaller wheels, but the axles have been relocated to the underside of the chassis for a more realistic ride height (not slammed into the ground on Dubs, yo!). I'm actually pretty happy with the way this one came out, though I have since been informed by craftymore that these make horrible derby cars and are also too rare/expensive to wreck anyway. |
