The one with the bucket seats molded in will be for a T-Bird, '61-63 (most likely '63).  The other one is '64 or '65 Falcon, not sure which right now.

Falcon is '64 unless someone has switched them around between my '64 and '65 kits.

Thanks guys. My guess on the one being a Tbird sounds right. The other I would not have known it was for a falcon. Great! Thanks.

The console in the TBird is giveaway. 64-66 had upper seats curve around corner. Always thought swing away wheel in scale was cool


The Falcon is probably a 64-5, as that’s Falcon emblem on rear seats. The 63 Sprint has diff interior and I’ve not seen one in white, Craftsman only. Top bow quarters make it 64-5 as no others had convertible versions save 63, and it had boot tab holes too. 
Mark, you ever see a white 63 Craftsman Falcon cvt?

The first tub is definitely an AMT '63 Thunderbird.  The seat pattern is different from the '61-'62, and it matches the interior tub in my '63 hardtop kit.  The hardtop and convertible used the same tub based on my examination of my '62 convertible.

The second tub matches the interior on my '64 Falcon hardtop promo.  I couldn't find my '65 Falcon.  I know people on this forum sometimes comment on the convertible tub being used on the hardtop kits and promos, so I imagine that's also the case with the Falcon sharing the same tub on both body styles.

I am continually amazed by the knowledge on this forum!
