Looking for a 78-79 Ford Fairmont

[chris coller]

Any place to find one? Resin or what ever. Thank you!

I remember seeing that come along, too. I wished he had made that body so it could be built as a road-going car, too. It was a Fairmont Futura, which is a really pretty car. One I wouldn't mind seeing kitted in styrene; I'd buy a case so I could do all the two-tone variations.

I wish it would be kitted too. They were a cool car, and there was even a pickup variation. I think that was some specialty company that made it though. If there are any kit manufacturers that are looking for suggestions; here's one for you.

A Ford Fairmont? I do recall a cartoon... I think it was in the now defunct 'Car Modeler' magazine. Guy opens up a model kit labeled "Ford Fairmont". Out comes two blocks... one long one for the body, the other shorter for the greenhouse. A puzzled look from the builder.

I agree - a stock Gairmont in ANY form - twoo door - four door or a wagon - they were really a seetheart in woodie wagon form..and those hardtops are really pretty for sure....... sure be nice to be able to get one..or two.. or three.....

Atlas has a very nice Fairmont in 4-door and wagon form (no Squire, though,) in HO scale. They're not too expensive (around $10) and come in wide variety of colors.

I would buy a case too! I love these cars! My 2nd car (which was my first drivable running car) was a Mercury Zepher 4 door sedan. Picked her up for $150 when I was 15 years old. Mint condition minus the paint was faded. Also I will attest to the cars too. My friend from years back had a 2 door Fairmont and was T-boned by an 18 wheeler. He is alive and well and that says something for these cars.

Care to share some info as to where you got the car or how it came to be? I have a customer that would be very interested in a few of them.

Where do you find Dominators?

Art Anderson...paging Mr. Art Anderson....

We have another idea for Moebius.

As I remember you saying, Art, "only the best tuna becomes Star-Kist" with regards to a few ideas floated in the chat. Well, there ain't no such fish as a scrod, and they sell just as well!

Something to think about...

The guy making the master of the Fairmont is on SA's board. He goes by futurattraction. He's done a ton of work making sure the body propotions are right.

It's awesome

It would be cool to make a Durango out of this too. Most people forget that Ford had that name before the Dodge SUV.

That is coming out nicely.

And he's going to do a stock one, too! YAY! I can build that pretty two-tone tan and gold car like the brochure had!

And a bunch of other combos, too...
