Ford didn't produce a hardtop until 1951. Forties Fords are not what i'd refer to as a "fullsize" car, even though they are large (in scale); that term wouldn't really apply until the late '50's..... when there were finally some "compact" cars on the market.

"Lead Sled" almost always denotes a '49-51 Merc, or Chevy Fleetline, something bulky, round, with lots of curves.....

"Low Rider" might be more correct for what you're thinking; early '60's to late '70's, customized, wild paint jobs, murals, panel painting and lace.... morphed into "hoppers" in the late '90's...

Revell has a great selection of '59-'66 Chevies that fit the bill; multiple building options, easy to build, lots of features...

AMT has a good selection of reissued annuals that include several big bruisers.... even the repop '76 Caprice is an iconic custom hardtop today.

the Monogram '59 Cadillac is probably the single biggest fullsize hardtop kit out there... and it builds up nice, too.
