Here's another one-of-fifty 1972 Swinger Special 340's. I like its vintage Alberta licence plate!

My daily driver is a 2004 CVPI, former Inglewood, Ca., unit. I bought it in April 2021 for the princely sum of $900.00.

The Towncar and Crown Victoria/Mercury Marquis share the same Panther platform, with the former being LWB, So, yes, it's a Towncar body & frame, with bolt-on Crown Victoria cosmetics.

Quite likely just regular P71 models (IIRC, the LWB Taxis are P73), with all of the Interceptor livery (Certified Calibration speedometer, centre-mount trunk release, Courtesy Light Delete, fleet-specific interior, etc., etc.).

Outstanding RM23! Good call with the white interior and stripes!

Sixties weren't all "peace & love", especially when one considers the likes of the MC5, the Stooges, and the Velvet Underground

GY3 shouldn't be difficult to find via Scale Finishes -- barring that, you can have an aerosol can of it made (that's what I did).

Here's a video which contains a 2011 Crown Victoria New York City Taxi. What's unique about it versus a non-NYC taxi? It's based upon the Lincoln Towncar platform -- long wheelbase model. NYC has long had requirements for their cabs for many years (similar to how California Highway Patrol models were unique to that state), including floor-to-ceiling and foot room capacities. Chrysler used to send cars built at Lynch Road Assembly to Amblewagon, who then cut-out the rear passenger footwells and replaced them with deeper-depth wells. This particular NYC Crown Vic is a 2011 model, which was the last year the C.V. was sold in the U.S. ("2012" models were all export-only); this one's build date is 05/2011.

I stand corrected. Thanks for the photo and the link!

Super Stock, as a classification, didn't exist until 1967 (+/- a year). A supercharged car in 1962, 1963, that's otherwise stock-appearing, would be in Gas or S/FX (somebody will hopefully correct my information).

**Side Bar** Those 'platform' shoes didn't come along until c.1973, 1974.

[19]60's were the best era for fashion, especially the Mods and Softies (Carnaby Street/ Kings Road psychedelic styles) fashions.

Keystone Klassic !

Days of Future Passed is the Moody Blues first full-length album; their earlier works were single.

"Debt", is what a Welshman says when asked about an older relative.

Unlike their predatory loans from twenty years ago...

I seem to remember the Monogram 1/32 scale Funny Car kits being my first kits (age 4, 1974, ad seq.). I enjoyed the h__l out of them! Now that Atlantis is reissuing them, I'll have to get them (but I have a difficult time paying +/- $20.00 for one!) Lindberg's 1/32 scale kits were another favourite. Earliest glue kits were MPC's annuals, 1977 (1978 models): Datsun Pickup, Chevy Pickup (and my dismay at the Dust Devil iteration for its false advertising of a 2WD version on the box!), Pinto Runabout, Pinto Wagon, Dodge Pickup, etc., etc. The one which eluded me was the Monogram 1/8 scale 1932 Ford Roadster! The department store in town had an original (easily 10 years old by 1974) on the top shelf, and 4 year old me wanted it badly! I honestly believe -thought- that I would be able to drive it after I built it -- it was positively HUGE! Certainly, its retail price (Middle Class/Upper-Middle-Class store) was likely a deterrent - I can imagine it was probably a $15.00 kit back then. I now have original-issue 'replacements' of the MPC 1978 C10, Pinto Runabout, Pinto Wagon, Datsun Pickup, and now, the "reimagined" D100 pickup (plus an original 1974 Monza annual). ALL are waiting for me to up my game before I start on them (and, hopefully, no pensive earthquakes to ruin/destroy them before I get to them).

Yes, it is. IMO, judging by how the hood is attached to its tree (runner, et al.) appears to be the problem; it needs a third attachment point to the runner.

Why are these two sink marques on the transmission oil pan? Yes, I know that the pan is hidden once installed in the frame; however, this is unacceptable for new/modern tooling. Other than that, it looks like a nice kit:
