Mercuryman54 Posted August 24, 2017 Posted August 24, 2017 Original AMT 1961 Ford Sunliner. Built approximately 30 or so years ago.
bbowser Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Nice! Don't think I've ever seen one of these built, it has survived well.
Againmikewins Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 I just finished my styline reissue of this car. Boy, yours puts mine to shame!!!
Mercuryman54 Posted August 25, 2017 Author Posted August 25, 2017 I've got a couple of those. One I'm going to build stock the other I have a Jimmy Flintstone Starliner conversion for.
Mercuryman54 Posted August 25, 2017 Author Posted August 25, 2017 If any of you notice. The Sunliner kit has no parking lights in the front bumper. Just FYI.
StevenGuthmiller Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 If any of you notice. The Sunliner kit has no parking lights in the front bumper. Just FYI. It's kind of funny, but not only didn't the Sunliner or the Starliner kits have parking lights, but the Starliner had the Sunliner script on the front fender.Good looking Ford Dennis! Steve
rickcaps55 Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 Wow ! for a model that was built some 30 years ago it's awesome I would leave it alone and not touch it in any way. I'm 65 and only have 3 or 4 models that made it through the years I started when I was 10 in 1962 my first kit was the AMT 1962 Fairlane I still have the model and about 23 years ago I found a unbuilt one in the box witch I will get to some day.

Yes it will stay the way it is. It sets in glass display case with my other models. I'm 60 and started building about 1965. I have the original box and all the parts I didn't use in the build.
Geno Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 What a great survivor, i love the early 60's Fords.
Sixties Sam Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 Very nice! Looks good in red, and I like the wheels. I still have a 61 Galaxie survivor (hardtop), as well as a Galaxie from every year from 1959 to 1969. Good work on this!Sam
geetee66 Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 Spot-on!It looks great sitting on those wheels. The tonneau looks very realistic, too.
Mercuryman54 Posted August 27, 2017 Author Posted August 27, 2017 if I remember correctly. The tires are the stock ones from the ford kit. I believe the chrome wheels/ baby moons came from the AMT 1949 Mercury kit.
TarheelRick Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 Beautiful Sunliner, that is some mighty fine looking chrome work. I converted the Styline kit to a Starliner using the roof from a 60 Starliner and I thought I was going to go ballistic with all that BMF.
John Goschke Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 Looks sharp! That shade of red really pops!
