IIRC the formal roofline fit the Mercury upscale image, the fastback was reserved for the sportier Ford. Fantastic job on a factory phantom, I love these type builds.
I love that car! The year Bobby beat Davey to the line at Daytona wasn't it? I built one using plain old Testor's gold spray bomb that came out pretty good. I'll dig around for a picture or 3.
Duh, I should have remembered that. Ernie staying on as crew chief for Bill all those years had me thinking it was still their team. Thanks for setting me straight
