PICS- Another cheapie I picked up that is probably the nicest '69 Chevelle in scale. FG model I picked up from their website for $24 plus shipping. It actually scales out very close to the FM '70 but is listed as 1/25.

Frank, I actually went with this one since they captured the image better than either Mint. I think it was the right call lol.

Very sharp / outstanding pics. I confess - I went sort of the other direction...
...with my choices.
I've got the DM '69 Chevelle SS / pale yellow -AND- the FM '70 Chevelle SS / cranberry red.
Love them 'both'.
And I prefer them without the vinyl-top.
My brother had a 1:1 '69 Chevelle SS-396 / 4-speed; which I drove several times. It was a blast.

LOL, I understand Billy, I liked the vinyl top on these with the unique wave trim along the sail panel. I still need to BMF that trim.

Looks slightly jacked up in back...
... I remember that was a popular look back then. I even did it to Mom's station wagon.

I have this one as well. Really liked the stance and First Gear knocked this one out of the park. They have made a few exceptional examples of Vehicles for various National Companies. A lot like what Crown premiums did for years.

And I love the FG-stuff too. Got a '69 Camaro + a couple Chevy pickups.

Factory air shocks John lol. You did see a lot with a little rake to them back in the day so it doesn't look out of place. I had originally thought about lowering the rear but the more I looked at it the more I liked it as is.

Likewise Billy, I have this Chevelle, the '66 GTO and '66 427 Fairlane GT, all very well done.

Looks great esp for the price!

Back in the Day
The rear shocks were replaced with air shocks after youy bought the 1/1. Just a thing to do lol.

Back in the day a lot of guys used a giant crowbar and reverse the rear leaf springs on the car.
Road awful but you got the look.

Another FG winner is the '37 Chevy sedan hot rod / purple+silver. I've always..
... thought the engine in this '37 was worth taking note of. It's very well done for the price.
Love mine.
