[JerseyRed]

Great stuff, especially the paint. What are the paint details on the Grand Prix and Edsel? I love those colors.

[peekay]

I agree with you - a pretty good year!

[bbowser]

Very good year!  I especially like the Bonnie and the Futura, but they are all outstanding.

1965 Pontiac is Light Iris metallic , OEM color  for the year and model  , I had it mixed locally. Its a base clear urethane .

 

1959 Edsel is Tamiya TS41 Coral blue

[Cpt Tuttle]

Nice models, my favourite is the Edsel.

[Metal Man]

Wow - you produced not only in quantity, but quality also!!  All beautiful, sharp builds - I especially love the Poncho and the Edsel.  Well done sir!!

[Lovefordgalaxie]

Pretty good is kind of a understatement. I would say it is a great year. 

It's hard to say this or that is my favorite, but that Edsel... What a car, what a great model.

[Hubert Rollins]

Very nice class!!

[gtx6970]

Thanks all for the kind words. I really do appreciate it.

 

Yep. The Edsel is probably one of....if not my all time favorite build i have ever done. At the very least its in my top 5 ever.  I absolutely love the color combination

You had a great '16 Bill.  All are sharp builds, but man I still gravitate to that 60 LIncoln. Who makes/made those Dodge Boys decals?  That's one I wouldn't mind adding to my collection if they're still available.

[DumpyDan]

I would say you had a very good year, they look amazing

[D. Battista]

The ones I used  ' I think' I bought off ebay a SEVERAL  years ago. Might have been Fred Cady stuff.....I  Honestly don't remember.

Pretty sure they are still out there. Just watch for cheap copies  Ive been told someone bought and photo copied them and the quality is not good once you have them in your hand . PM me for details if you want more info .

Really great builds. I love the Duster.
