Pulled the '32 Chevy delivery from the dunk tank , , [PICS]
Kinda wish MPC had produced this 1932 Chevrolet sedan delivery... *PIC*
The MPC 32 is indeed a Panel truck as 29 to 34 all used the car sheet metal from the doors forward been a member of the Vintage Chevrolet club of America for 30 + years. My dad has been a member 50+ years *NM*
I think it's supposed to be a "panel delivery" like this pic but it doesn't really match. It's kinda like a "panel delivery" crossed with a "sedan delivery" but not exactly either. *PIC*
Looking at both the model & 1:1 Panel Delivery it looks like MPC did the Panel Delivery body but shortened it by a scale 18-24" between the rear fender & back of the body,the 2 beltline molds appear the same,also the rear doors,Panel Deliveries were on the light truck frame. *NM*
Also the character lines on the panel area don't match any pics I've seen and the 2 side character lines don't have the kick up at the rear corners the actual trucks have. Not great for a replica stock build but fine for a rod. *NM*
MPC didn't choose the best bodies for that kit. A roadster would have been better than the cabriolet, and a coupe would have been a better choice than the non-stock panel *NM*
Agreed. I have a rebuilder Cabriolet I think I'll convert to a pickup, modifying the cab and bed from an AMT '34 Ford pickup. Won't be %100 stock body but close enough for a street rod. *NM*
My reference info Spotlight 2014 Art Anderson mentioned that the MPC '32 Chevrolet Panel may have been modeled after a Commissioned Custom built Sedan Delivery. I can scan and post here if that is requested. *NM*
Cool *NM*
