Just saw a video on Facebook. Salvinos are looking to release a Pontiac 2+2 in 1/24 scale by the end of the year. |

He's got a ways to go with that rear window. _________________ "Dude, it's not Camelot... it's only a model." "Details man, I need details!!" |

Rear window looks close to me. It was a lot longer and less flat than the Monte Carlo rear window and it has the correct bulge/bow at the upper portion just behind where it meets the roof. The trunk lids were TINY on those cars.

Rear window didn't look too bad......it was a odd duck!
A buddy of mine, a big die hard Pontiac guy, bought one new.....HORRIBLE car build quality. It was hard as heck to get a tire out of the trunk, the nose started to sag right away....rear window leaked.....on and on....but cool race cars!!! Let's hope! |

Take a closer look, same clunky 3d work as the Monte. Hard edges where they shouldn't be. Not being negative, just saying he has a ways to go. _________________ "Dude, it's not Camelot... it's only a model." "Details man, I need details!!" |

The sheet metal was the same as the regular Grand Prix that was raced, both Bumper covers , rear glass, deck lid and maybe the hood was the only difference over the notch back Grand Prix. I worked at a Pontiac Dealer in the 80's and only ever saw 2 of these cars upclose. _________________ Roanoke, VA. |

I think we could tell a lot more with an opaque body and better lighting. Can't tell much from this. _________________ "Dude, it's not Camelot... it's only a model." "Details man, I need details!!" |

Agree. A coat of primer would tell the tale. Didnt realize the Monte Carlo was mocked up in 3d. There's a missed opportunity.
