Story

About AMT Models

Founded in 1948 by West Gallogly in Michigan, AMT (Aluminum Model Toys) initially made a mark with its innovative promotional models, starting with a 1948 Ford Tudor Sedan replica. This was a time when real cars were scarce in showrooms post-war, making these detailed miniatures not just a novelty but a necessity for car dealerships. Quickly transitioning from aluminum to plastic for greater versatility and cost efficiency, AMT pioneered the “sliding pillar” tooling for complex shapes, revolutionizing the production of model cars.

By the late 1950s, AMT expanded its audience by introducing customizing parts in their kits, catering to the growing hobbyist market keen on personalizing their models. This led to the creation of the 3-in-1 Customizing Kit series, which saw phenomenal success and firmly established AMT’s reputation in the model kit industry. The company’s innovative spirit didn’t stop there; through collaborations with car customizing legends and ventures into licensed model kits from TV shows like Star Trek, AMT continued to lead the way, becoming synonymous with quality and creativity in model kit manufacturing.

Over the decades, AMT navigated through changes in ownership and expansions into new territories, like the Speed & Custom Division, further cementing its place in both hobbyist and pop culture lore. Now under Round 2, AMT remains a beloved brand, still exciting modelers with its mix of classic and modern kits, proving that passion and innovation are at the heart of its enduring legacy.

★★★★★
I ventured into the realm of building both a stock and a custom model, and what a ride it was! Transforming a classic into a 1950s hop-in roadster convertible was a project I’ll never forget. With the daring move of cutting off the doors, relocating them, and then diving into custom modifications like a big block V8 with zoomies, side pipes, and even crafting a homemade roof boot after saying goodbye to the original roof, the outcome was spectacular. Rolling on custom WW tires and adorned with fender skirts, this model isn’t just a car; it’s a piece of art that harks back to a golden era of roadsters. It’s amazing how a few modifications can bring such personality to a model!

Building the 1951 Chevy Bel Air was like traveling back to an era when cars weren’t just machines, but masterpieces of design and engineering. AMT has captured this essence beautifully, allowing enthusiasts to build it in stock form, as a drag racer, or with a touch of custom flair. I chose the stock route, paying homage to the original design, which left me with spare parts and decals for future projects. Despite being an experienced modeler, this kit challenged me in ways I didn’t expect. It’s a testament to the meticulous detail and patience required, proving that it’s not just any hobby but a craft that demands respect and perseverance. A true gem for those who appreciate the beauty and complexity of vintage cars.

Reminiscing about the ’90s brings back fond memories of my dad assembling AMT models, each one with its own story. This year, for Father’s Day, I decided to surprise him by recreating a piece of our shared history. Finding the Chevy model that mirrored the one in an old family photo, albeit in a different shade, felt like destiny. The joy in his eyes when he saw it was indescribable. It was more than just a gift; it was a bridge between generations, a shared passion rekindled. This model was not just a replica of a car but a symbol of timeless memories and the unbreakable bond between a father and their child, crafted with love and a touch of nostalgia.

After years away, I’ve recently found my way back to the model-building hobby, a passion from my youth that I never truly forgot. Diving into the Round 2 kit was like opening a door to the past with a modern twist. What caught my attention right off the bat was the attention to detail, especially the tires adorned with white letters – a small but significant touch that adds so much realism. The inclusion of two complete sets of tires in different sizes is a dream for someone who appreciates the value of spare parts.
