Another attempt to bring back Johan?

.............Maybe not by name. That hasn't worked that well the last couple of times..............I was looking at the Hobby Expo website and one of the exhibitors was a new company called IMC; Illinois Model Company.  They're planning to bring back a number of classic Johan kits, instead of simply wearing out the old tooling, as Johan and Testors has done, but they plan to "improve" the kits. It isn't clear if they are just planning to clean up or replace the tooling or if they are going to add new details..............There current product includes the early 60s  Chrysler Turbine, 60' Rambler station wagon and 76' Olds Cutlass, all curbside disassembled promos which is disappointing, but it's a start. Now if they could restore/replace the tooling for some of the old Gold Cup kits
