Info about Revell Anglia kit

Can anyone provide me with any historical info about the Revell Anglia kit?

I have the most recent Model King release of it, and it doesn't feel like a 1960's/ 70's vintage Revell kit. Especially, the engine feels to have come from a different era of kit production.

I understand that the beautiful big decal sheet is a Model King addition, but I'm surprised to see what appears to be significant changes to the plastic.

Does anyone know if Revell did any updates to the "Skipper's Critter" kit since the old days? I see that it was labeled as a Street Rod on the box art at one time, and that doesn't seem to fit with the Ford SOHC that is currently in the kit. Also, the hood cutout appears to have been a later change, and the doors don't seem to need to use the clunky hinges that I see on a lot of older builds.

Does anyone know if/how the kit has evolved over the years?
Thanks,
Rick
