56 Ford Crown Vic in pink & white.

[Sixties Sam]

In 50 years of building models, this is my first one in pink! This is a rescued ebay beater with a few mild custom touches, patterned after a real 55 Vic my wife fell in love with at a car show. I used the kit custom grille and taillights, and scratch built a rear bumper extension for the continental spare from the junk box. Skirts are cut down 49 Ford units. Krylon paint with Testors clear. Many fit issues - the doors don't fit & close right, the roof molding fits poorly and it moved while the glue was drying. I'll fix it later. I had no windshield or back windows, so I made them from plastic from a strawberry container. I made paper templates, then cut out the plastic and rolled the ends around a dowel rod for the curves. It worked! It's a less than perfect model, but I'm tired of messing with it!

Looks like it's on a rocky beach, but it's my driveway!

Yes, the carpeting is pink too, but has black floor mats made from masking tape.

Here's the OOPS! on the molding. Dang it!

Here's the owner. Her name is Vickie, too, and she LOVES pink! She just stopped at Johnson's market for a few groceries. That's George on the sidewalk, admiring both the Vickie's! I hope you like the Vickie! Thanks,

Sam

That's a hell of a car. Looks good.

I think it looks great and the dio looks pretty good too. It looks right at home there along with miss Vicki.

Thanks for the compliments, guys. I'm glad you like her. If cars can have a gender, this one is definitely a girl!
