Unfortunately the Starliner script for '61 was different from '60. An MCG photoetch set for the '61 Ford would be great - I'd be in for three of 'em.

Somebody (Fireball Modelworks?) was making correct deluxe wheelcovers for the '71-'73 Cougar; anyone remember who?

problem but mine

So does anyone make photoetch or 3D printed Starliner scripts for the '61?

Marronaise, eh - isn't that what Honey Boo Boo puts on her sammich?

A problem you may have here is that this is a Cycolac promo body rather than styrene, so regular glue may not hold - try using one of the stronger solvent glues (Tenax?). If you do have access to a Ranchero body, you could use it to copy the missing area with two-part mold putty and resin.

Product placement from Chrysler; for some reason they didn't mind showing their cars getting smashed up on screen. I would also imagine stunt drivers appreciated their handling qualities!

SteveG, any chance we'll see the All Stars/Scale Stars 1/32 '40 Ford sedan?

I was looking at the '57 (closest available) Ford truck brochure at the Old Car Manual Project, and the wheelbases were listed as 110" and 118" with either 6 1/2' or 8' beds, respectively. Looks like you would have to shorten the wheelbase and front of the bed 8mm, and the rear of the bed 10 mm, to get a correct 6 1/2' shortbed.
