Greenlight’s muscle car
garage line has produced an excellent rendition of the
396 Camaro SS. The vinyl interior has plenty of detail
including back seat passenger ash trays. When was the
last time you saw those in a car? The dash shifter and
gauges are all in proportion and fit nicely in this car.
The bow tie emblem on the steering wheel is clearly
visible as well the signature Camaro signature on the
passenger side dash panel.
The hood lines and wind
shield angle are very nice on this car. You can almost
imagine climbing behind the wheel to head out to the
drive-in for a night with your girl friend. The painted
plastic wiper blades look like an extension of the
chrome around the windshield and take a little away from
its overall appeal. The flip up visors add a nice touch
and the stowed away convertible top is well done too.
The engine is simple and
fills the entire front of the car just as it did when it
came of the line at the factory. Not a lot of gadgets or
gizmos just pure clean power which made the 396 a staple
of the GM muscle cars. The decal on the air cleaner is a
nice touch along with the original flag emblem as well.
The lights, grill, decals,
and rear end are all well done. The car sits nice and
straight and the turning radius on the front wheels was
surprisingly large as well as smooth. Some of us still
like to play with our toys. The deep dish rims looked
nice and polished and the white letter tires looked good
as well. The rear fill gas tank is a thing of the past
so new collectors will not find a gas fill visible on
this model. GreenLight used more metal in this model so
the car has a weighty feel to it when you pick it up to
examine it. Overall I liked this car and would recommend
it to anyone who misses the hot summer nights cruising
with the top down.
Thank you
