Hi all

Does anybody know of an Olds Vista cruiser kit, preferably '71 or ‘72? Not a curbside, please. Ideally this would share the mold from a W-30 442 or Cutlass. A few days’ search hasn’t turned up anything still in production or recently discontinued. Needs to be eit her 1/24 or 1/25.

I coukd even use somebody’s glue bomb if it’s not too rough. A resin body would work too, but I’m not very experienced with resin.

This is to maike a W-30 Vista Cruiser, something that Olds should have done.

Thanks

Hi Jim!

Have you tried Scalemates? They might have info on the when and by who the kit was made or if it was made.

Good luck.

Stay safe.

I thought tjhe Vista Cruiser had the raised section in the roof with the wraparound skylights.

Pretty sure there has never been a kit of that body style.

Ah, apparently the '73 model lost the raised roof section, and every bit of coolness it had.

'72 model.

'73 model.

I think there is one out there. I have seen it, but I don’t recall where. It was either resin cast, or 3D printed. Nobody makes a kit of that car.

I would try ebay, etsy, and google searches for “resin vista cruiser” or something like that.

I was wrong. I can only find a 64 Vista Cruiser and then that ugly 73 model year.
