mr moto Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 This is AMT's 1965 Lincoln kit shortened about 5/8" (16 scale inches). I think of it as a sort of styling exercise or maybe you could call it a phantom or a concept car. The roof is the removable hard top from the '57 T-Bird kit that has been lengthened and widened to fit, held in place with magnets. Interior is made from the rear half of an AMT '66 T-Bird interior with the Lincoln dash retained . Parts box steering wheel - it's probably from some Chrysler Corp product judging by the shape of it. Wheels are from the kit. They're similar to Pontiac 8-bolts but with knock-offs. The knock-offs in the kit looked very delicate so I never even tried to get them off the sprue and just pulled some from a parts box. The grill is a resin copy of the one from the original AMT 1956 Mark II promo with some custom headlights added. Paint is 1964 Lincoln "silver green" from MCW. Thanks for looking! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr moto Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 I feel I have to take time once again to thank all the appreciative commenters on this forum. The quality standard of builds (not to mention the builders themselves!) on this forum is very high and I thought this little build of mine would fly right under the radar. Thank you to everyone who has looked!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
