Using "retro" and/or "vintage" as selling points usually translates to a whole lot of ka-chings coming from the seller's register. Yup. I can think of at least three kits I've bought yet another one of (even though I already had one or more) just because of the retro box art (and maybe decals or a few other new goodies inside).

carrucha Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Nice to see this one back. Year ago I built it as the convertible. This time I am probably going to build it as a wagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I am working on a '64 Lincoln Sedan, and it was from an original annual 3 in 1 kit from back in the day. I also have an original '65 Sedan, which is unbuilt, and the building plans have been made for it, as well as every '60's Lincoln Continental kit, save the '68. which I sold off. Unfortunately, I am a member of Photobucket. Need I say more? Edited February 17, 2018 by Ron Hamilton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 If it wasn't for the terrible engine/chassis, this kit would be a favorite. I had a good time with mine. This kit has a lot of possibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordRodnKustom Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Turns out I just started one from the previous issue of this kit. Doing a custom long roof. Looks like it's going to be fun. Hope the new issue has a little less flash and better quality styrene than this issue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledsel Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Grabbing some more of these for sure, I have 3 on the bench and one finished. Not sure about some comments I saw earlier, my finished one went together nice. Alot of possibilities with these with a little imagination.

Not sure where you could get a better detailed 430, but the Lincoln's shared the the underbody with the 61-66 Thunderbird so the new tool 62 Bird might be your ticket for a better 'chassis. (They're unibodies). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike999 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Some inspiration for those who want to use the station wagon option. I posted elsewhere about the custom-built Cadillac station wagons used by the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs. The cars hauled guests and their luggage in from the airport. These wagons were called "Broadmoor Skyviews" for the Plexiglas panels in the roof. Here's a Hemmings article about the 1959 Broadmoor Skyview. It was built on a Sayers & Scovill hearse body, with further mods by Hess & Eisenhardt. Now if I can just find enough luggage in my Gimcrack Stash... https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2017/03/07/a-room-with-a-view-1959-cadillac-broadmoor-skyview/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Anybody know what those three-piece (outer, inner, knock-off) custom wheels are supposed to be? Are they based on a real aftermarket wheel from that era or are they just flight of fancy by some AMT designer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the instruction sheet makes reference to the manufacturer, but no luck on this one. It doesn't seem like it would be based on a real wheel, based on how is assembles, but they might be similar to those 8-lug Pontiac wheels? These are the wheels in question, correct?: Edited March 22, 2018 by Casey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 While not a 1965, still kind of interesting. I ran across this while looking for information about the rereleased kit: https://bangshift.com/general-news/ebay-find-2/ebay-find-this-one-of-none-1962-lincoln-continental-station-wagon-need-a-home/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
