This one was built for a friend as a replica of one his dad had bought new. It started out as a convertible resin kit. Not sure who did the kit 'cause it's the only one I have come across.

Paul, 

The resin kit was from F & F Resin. I remember it because I almost bought one at an NNL from Ed Fluck, who did the original master. Your build is gorgeous, as usual.

Very nice build! More accurate than the black 1:1 64 convertible sold by Mecum last weekend, all of the tail panel detail was missing on that one.

I had to do a double take to see that this WAS a '64 and not the ever present '63! Really super nice Paul and this reinforces my thinking about getting things that you like while they're available, because one never knows for how long it can be had.

Wow. Gorgeous. :D

And you very rarely see the full sized '64, even in full scale. (I have a real '63 Dynamic 88 convert, the car I drove in HS, I'll be starting on soon).  

For whatever reason, I can still remember the car that a teacher's assistant I had when first starting school (mid '60's) owned. It was a triple white '63 Dynamic 88 convertible. I didn't know what it was at the time, but I can remember her parking it right against the window where our classroom was located. At times the top was down which is why I remember what color the interior was.

Funny how car memories can stick in your mind! :D

That is a beautiful Oldsmobile, another one of those rare subjects that I'd like to see built more often. Again, excellent work with the conversion. Nice paint job and sharp BMF work on the chrome trim finish it off. Great job.

Wow, that is a beautifully done replica and conversion from the original convertible F&F kit!  This is most inspirational as I, too, have the kit and plan on Aqua Mist code Q, though I'll keep it as a convertible.

Looks superb, and personally I like the look of the '64 over the '63 with the big swath of trim down the middle of the body, looks much better on the lower body. Never knew this resin existed!
