Nice detail work on that Ranchero, Tim. It really does make it look alot better! As far as making a mess in your hotel room, I wonder if, technically speaking of course, driving a Lincoln into the swimming pool would be considered making a mess in the room?!
Ron, those pics were shot at a storage garage, it was very dark, so the colors didn't show up properly. The actual color is the same yellow as your pics, it has the black interior. All the chrome, and the woodgrained dash, really pop with the black!
Thanks for chiming in Snake! A compliment from you really means alot! You wouldn't believe how many people have seen that crease and asked "what happened?" because they are far more used to seeing the slab-sided Fairlane, and assume that the far less-often seen Comet would be "the same thing"!
I was also hesitant to open this thread because Donks and Gassers are just not my thing, but I am really glad I did! That is beautiful, Peter, very well done!!
Cool! Haven't seen too many of those built, especially with the box art! My grandparents had a '71 Galaxie that they had similar windows cut into those enormous C-pillars, they were called "opera" windows then.
I read "Descent Into Darkness" by Commander Edward Raymer, who was one of the lead Navy salvage divers sent into Pearl Harbor to clean up after the attack. Very interesting book!
