1966 Ford Country Sedan

[ford fan]

Another recent build : Paul Hettick's '66 Ford Country Sedan.

I had to use an Amt '66 Galaxie of course as a donor & everything went smooth. I just had to cut small parts of the Amt chassis (rear wheel wells) so the interior bucket fit. 

The paint is again from FireScaleModeler (a 60s Ford hue). The dogdishes come from Amt's 1966 Fairlane 427.

Great looking wagon!!

Pretty realistic-looking build. Nice job.

Nice job. I have the Squire in my stash. I have been trying to grind the mile thick tub a little rounder so I can use a little of the kit wheel wells. The kit frame also needs some work to depict a wagon. Fuel tank is in the wrong place for one.

I have to commend Paul. I posted my kit on "What did you get today" and almost immediately received an apology that he didn't realize that the seats I received were the "old" ones he no longer supplied. He sent a set of new design seats that are much better detailed.

Great looking paint color and finish. Clean body trim and the wheel & tire combination look perfect.

If you are in the over 60+ bracket, you either rode in one, your parents/grandparents owned one, your neighbor had one or there was one parked beside you at the grocery store. 

I can taste the salted peanuts in the Coca Cola while sitting in the 3rd seat....

A few of ya'll know what I'm saying.....

I'm a bit younger & I live in France but I have an old friend in the USA who is in his 70 & who told me exactly the same thing !

Looks great, I think many of us have a family wagon story from our youth. Well done Bertrand.

Loved riding in the rear seats, made me feel like the “Peanuts Gang” in “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving!” Thanks for the cool memories on a Hot as He!! day in central Va.!
