Model Magazine
,
Car Model- the "Hot Rod Magazine" of the auto modeling world. Car Model brought respectability to the genre'. Mixing it's focus between static models and slot cars, it was an energetic effort, always pushing and stressing the building of better models.. Most of the "how to's" were finished up in one issue, with variants or detailed sections appearing in later months.
Spanning a dozen years you can actually see how styles and the industry changed in that period. From the First Issue below, which stressed the then current focus of street customs and details, through muscle cars, and funny cars, things started getting weird in '71, but the world was getting weird also. It disappeared in 1974. When you look at the range of it's lifespan, it seems to follow the baby boomers who would have had an average age of 10-12 through 74 when we would have been in our early twenties......
