1972 Chevelle Sport Coupe

Well, as if I wasn't waist deep in projects alread, my boss asked me to do some classic cars for advertising for our Murphy North Carolina Store. A restaurant their has classic cars as the theme and wants a model for each of their forty tables. The model will be a car with DirecTV advertising on it with the offer of a $50.00 gift card for any customer that signs up with our Murphy store. First thing is first, some cars. The name of the place is the Chevelle, so I chose as a start a 1972 Chevelle Sports Coupe. These models will not need to be that detailed, just a general idea. So here is my start. Now for coloring and unfolding. I am not sure that this one is a classic or not, but it will do.

Unfortunately, I do not know much about cars. I don't even have a drivers license for this state as I never transfered my old one over when I moved here. I guess one day my wife will make me get one again but I really hate driving. I am having more fun with these cars then I had expected though. I need to make forty models (not all need to be diferent years or makes) and I think we will have a stack of printed sheets for the restaurant to give out as well.

that would be neat for them to hand out, so people can build their own, plus free advertising for you or papermodels or ecardmodels or whatever lol

Nice start - kind of fills the void between the ultra-detailed cars and the just-a-box designs. Commercial constraints any factor? One piece, tab and slot fold ups, or are you building them all?

ok, the rear bumper is a somewhat complicated part, because of the wedge-ish shape and the slightly scalloped shape.

I will make as many of these as I can, I do not know about doing 40 though!

I will be putting the finished kits in our download section as I get them done.

My definition of the word "classic" is looking just as good today as when it was new decades ago. And for me, the classic cars include the 1914 Stutz Bearcat, a Ford Model A roadster (could the rumble seat really work?), the 1936 Jaguar SS100, the Bugatti Atlantic, a 1936/1937 coffin-nose Cord -- and the Mercedes gullwing. These all are likely far outside the range of your particular project, but I'd sure like to have such models.

OMG!!!! I LOVE the '72 Chevelle! My family has a '72 Chevelle 350 Malibu. We drove that thing everyday for 20 years before it became my brother's high school car, and then mine. It's my inheritance too.
