My 81 Lincoln Town Coupe

[Porscheman]

I traded a guy a 69 Impala for this Blvd. Resin kit and I really like the way it came out. I painted it DuPont Ginger Metallic with Dark Brown interior and top. I used Alclad for the bumpers and grill, BMF was used on the rest. The wheels are out of the parts box and the tires are AMT's Firestone's parts pak.

Thanks for looking,

Al

That came out really nice

[cobraman]

Never saw one of those. Nice work Al.

[Porscheman]

Thanks Eric and Ray. I had fun with this one. AL

That's cool! I've seen their Mk V but never this one. I'm hoping they'll do a 4-door so I can build my old '81 Signature.

Great looking Lincoln Al...... Haven't seen your posts lately... glad you're OK & back at it.

[feretzrus]

Looks Great!  I like the color, a very "Lincoln" color!  I've got one of these, this is great inspiration!

[RAMBENNA]

looks great, nice work

Something about those body proportions looks really off to me. Not your fault, of course... but something's not right. I dunno... maybe I'm seeing problems that aren't really there.

[ChrisBcritter]

To me, the main problem is that the grille is extended out farther than it should be; it should be just barely in front of the headlights. IMCDb image from Honky Tonk Freeway:

You did a nice job, Al! As a coupe, the Town Car did have somewhat odd proportions.

[ChrisR]

NICE!!

[V8 Trucker]

I'm absolutely delighted with your work

[om617]

Unusual subject,you did a nice job on it. 

[JTalmage]

Saw this on facebook... really killer! I'd love to have one myself as well. I'm a sucker for 2dr Lincolns. I own a Mark VIII

[Rider]

Nice build, I too am a fan of those biggin two door luxury cruisers.

Noticed the same, can't exactly pin it, almost looks a bit to tall in the hat. Someone else noted the front grill porpotions appear off too.

Al, as always, your finshed build is awesome, great job, again...

I used to work for a Lincoln dealer in the cleanup shop. I've cleaned up many, just not hardly this old. 88's was some of the oldest I cleaned up. The basic body shape didn't change for several years though. Nice model.

Nice job...

Mmm.....I like it ?? nice work

I think there's lots of little things combining together to give the body that "off" look.  I agree about the grill, and the windshield extends all the way to the top of the roof.

Also, even though the 1:1 has some pretty long front and rear overhangs, it seems like the resin body's are a bit too long, especially the front.

With a subject like this, I guess this is the only game in town, but you're not getting Modelhaus/Motor City/Missing Link quality.

Looking on Blvd. Resin's Facebook page, it looks like their Mark V also has some proportional issues.

Nice!  I'm partial to big land yachts, be they 30's Packards or 80's  Lincolns 

[Mike 1017]

I like it

[American 185 Heavy]

Now that is a great build, and great color choice. My neighbor had one in a very similar color except with a white top. Was a great car. Always loved the 70's 8-'s big FoMoCo sedans

[Rob Hall]

The 1:1 2drs were only offered 2 years (80-81) while the 4dr ran 80-89 for that generation....1:1 2drs of that generation are a pretty rare sight today...neat build of an obscure car.

[Plasticfanatic]

Like it very much, would love to find one of these resin body.
