Ever since Clarence Coyote's accidental time trip back to 1960, he's been experiencing the simple and exciting things about thqat bygone year: black-and-white televisions, shopping in actual stores, drive-in movies and restaurants, big stylish-looking cars with V8 engines, etc. Now his adopted father Al figures an 8-year-old cub like Clarence is old and mature enough to try another simple pleasure: model car building. So it's off to the hobby shop at the Tri-star Plaza in Albuquerque, NM to pick out some starter kits for the eager young cub. The owner suggests these "Curbside" models, just released:
>Ford Country Squire Station Wagon
>Chevrolet Corvair
>Oldsmobile Scenicoupe
Clarence, however, thinks he's ready for these model kits as well:
>Chevrolet Pickup Truck
>Buick Invicta Convertible
"Hold on a minute, son", cautions the owner. "Those kits have more parts in them, including the engine...and that Chevy Truck also has a trailer and a tow hitch."
"He's right, Clarence", agrees Al. "You might want to practice your skills on the simple kits before moving on to those advanced ones." He then leans closer to the disappointed cub and whispers: "Besides, even if you were still in 2018, you'd be too busy with your computer thing to try and build them."
"I guess you're right", sighs Clarence as he puts the kits back on the shelf.
After giving the coyote father and son some bottles of paint and tubes of glue, the owner suggests: "Maybe you could get your two older cubs to help Clarence build the models...You know, make it a group project, like those Detroit auto assembly lines."
"Well, we'd have to agree on the color scheme and which way to build it", says Al, "but I guess it could work."
"In that case", says the owner as he paws Clarence back the two advanced models, "you can go ahead and have these as well."
"Yes, sir!" exclaims Clarence as he grabs the boxes off the counter.
After ringing up the total on the old NCR cash register *chchchching chchchching* the owner gives a final suggestion: "Be sure and lay some newspaper on the table so you don't make a mess...and try not to get the glue and paint on your fur or you'll never get it out."
"Will do", answers Al as he and Clarence leave the store.

The model car boxes are images taken from the Model Roundup website, the characters belong to moyomongoose , and the artwork was done by me.
The kits listed were "model year" kits released in 1960, the time the story he wrote takes place. (You can read the story at his Inkbunny account if the site isn't down.) Unfortunately, I couldn't find any Chrysler/Plymouth/Dodge kits, as the Coyote family are loyal Chrysler owners.
(That sounds like my family, except they were loyal Ford owners.)
Anyway, hope he likes this!
