In the mid 90's, I owned this '74 crew cab pickup, one of only 2500 imported that year and I wish I still had it - they are worth a fortune now!
By the way, I was 4 years old in 1959 and a bit too young for model kits.
Yes, I know you were way too young in '59, but Revell models were very popular in the 70s through the 80s too. Definitely can see that '74 crew cab pickup as a hot collector item! I had a Navy buddy that loved the VW bus. We both exited the Navy at about the same time, went our separate ways, and we both ended up in Oregon working for the same corporation...and he still had his bus!
I had one of these in Hawaii pretending to be Magnum PI. Didn't last long with me behind the wheel.
